Chantal's aptly-named Classic kettle, after more than 25 years of production, has become an icon. However, this beautiful kettle is more than just a pretty face. It's made of heavy-gauge carbon steel for rapid heat conduction and features a triple-thick bottom to withstand the heat from the hottest burner, gas, electric, ceramic, or magnetic induction. The elegant, comfortable handle, the lid and spout are made of polished, 18/10 stainless steel, a beautiful contrast to the rich colors of the rock-hard, triple-layer porcelain enamel that protects each 1.8-qt. kettle. The handle is attached to the kettle with a special insulating air pocket to minimize heat transfer to the handle. Finally, there's the famous Chantal dual-note harmonica whistle that alerts you when the water boils.
