Wow, this was probably the hottest thread on this forum in a long while
~groan~
Does anyone know how to clean these kettles though? I don't think they'd do well in the dishwasher...
Soaking with white vinegar is usually the recommended trick to loosen lime deposits.
Also, what do you all think about plastic vs stainless? It seems to me that it's worthwhile getting stainless just to be certain there's no plastic leeching into the water. Besides, I'd think it would heat faster. I know my Adagio kettle heats really quickly.
I've seen this come up in a number of reviews on Amazon. Some of the plastic kettles seem to give a serious plastic taste to water, even after several boiling cycles. I think going full stainless would be the easy way to avoid the issue entirely.
The other thing that concerned people is insulation. Is the outside of the kettle too hot to touch? Does the water cool off quickly after the kettle shuts off?
Plenty of things to think about.
