| Waiting patiently for my induction cooktop to be installed. In the meantime, I need to replace our tea kettle - would rather not have Le Creuset, only because of the weight. What's your favorite? |

| Get an electric kettle. Cheaper, faster, and wayyyyy more energy efficient that boiling water on any stovetop. |

| I'm also looking for an induction compatible tea kettle - preferably with a stainless finish. Has anyone found one? |

| FWIW my $20 copco works fine. White enamel though. |
|
| Thanks -- I'll definitely check these out -- not looking to spend a fortune!! |

| I picked up a smallish red enamel Copco at Target for a bit less than $20. I like it just fine. I have an electric kettle that I use when traveling, and it's nice but I wouldn't call it faster or more efficient than my induction cooktop. Cj |

| I have a copco stainless that works but says not to use higher than medium! Anyone have a nice, fast tea kettle that's attractive? thanks. |

| Who ever suggested an electric kettle over an induction ready model has never used induction. Induction boils water in half the time of any electric kettle!!! Also...don't listen to well meaning sales people who haven't the experience to really offer an opinion about cooktops. I'll never use any other form of cooktop and I've cooked on them all! |

| Yes, I've used induction. But what I cannot fathom is why Americans do not embrace electric kettles, like most of the rest of the civilized world. They are cheap, efficient, and effective. Perhaps marginally slower than induction heat, but price and efficiency more than trump any slight time advantage. I'll never waste a burner on any type of cooktop to boil water for tea or other hot drinks. |

| A good electric kettle is not cheap. All the hundreds of cheap ones are in landfills and are plastic...who wants boiled water in plastic. They are only more efficient if the coils are in direct contact with the water inside therefore tastes metallic. If they are the type that keeps the water hot for hours on end...a power hog. And yet another appliance on the counter? (I have one at work for the tea drinkers ; ) and i like green tea in the afternoon.) Many water kettles on the stovetop are not used everyday. A heavy tea drinker probably has an electric kettle. I use my kettle for thinning sauces and i make fresh fridge pickles. |
