Le Creuset Enamel-on-Steel Demi Tea Kettle, 1.25 qt Olive — Fast-Heating, Chip-Resistant

The Le Creuset Enamel on Steel Demi Tea Kettle (1.25 qt) is a fast-heating, chip-resistant stovetop kettle finished in olive enamel, designed for quick boiling and everyday kitchen use.

This compact 1.25-quart kettle combines lightweight carbon-steel construction with Le Creuset’s durable porcelain-enamel finish so you can heat water quickly without reacting with flavors or staining. Its single-tone whistle and folding stay-cool handle make it practical at the stove, while the colorful enamel adds a decorative accent to counters and open shelving.

How quickly does this kettle bring water to a boil?

The lightweight carbon-steel body transfers heat to water faster than thicker materials, so start-to-boil times are reduced on most gas and electric cooktops. Its demi size (1.25 qt) also means less water to heat when you need just a cup or two.

• Carbon-steel construction for efficient heat conduction
• 1.25-quart capacity reduces heating time for small batches
• Works on gas, electric, and ceramic range tops (avoid induction without adapter)

What safety and usability features does it include?

The kettle includes a fixed single-tone whistle that signals a rolling boil and flips open easily for pouring. A black folding handle stays cooler to the touch and stainless-steel hardware provides secure, long-lasting support when lifting and pouring.

• Fixed whistle that opens for pouring to prevent spills while lifting
• Stay-cool folding handle for safer handling and compact storage
• Stainless-steel knob and brackets for durable, stable use

How does the enamel finish perform over time?

Le Creuset’s porcelain enamel is applied to resist stains, prevent flavor transfer, and stand up to everyday wear. The surface is non-reactive and resists rust and scratches under normal household use; with routine care it keeps its color and finish for years.

• Porcelain enamel resists staining and flavor absorption
• Chip-resistant surface when used and cleaned according to care instructions
• Easy-to-clean exterior and interior—hand washing recommended

What are the practical capacity and measurement details?

The kettle’s demi size holds roughly 1.25 quarts, ideal for making a few cups of tea or a small pot of French press coffee. Internal minimum and maximum markings help prevent overfilling and ensure safe, efficient boiling.

• 1.25-quart capacity for small to medium hot-water needs
• Internal fill-level marks for safe and accurate water amounts
• Compact footprint saves stove and storage space
