What the testers found
America's Test Kitchen's top-rated stovetop kettle, with full marks in every category (the Staub scored 2 of 3 for performance). "Lightweight and easy to lift, this nicely designed kettle held plenty of water for its size—a full 2 quarts." "The kettle whistles loudly, and the spout pours neatly." It's tough too: "The kettle showed no damage from our abuse testing and cleaned up nicely." ATK tested the Glacier Blue version; this listing is the same kettle in Chili Red.
