Default Kettle to boil water

wrote:
At purchased a new SS kettle. When I pick up the kettle I had to be
careful. Many kettle bottom rolled up rims were kinked. On the

bottom was
the name "REVERE" (Easy pour model) made in China stamped in the

stainless
steel.
I was all excited and anxious to get home to test it. The boiling

test were
disappointing. On an electrical stove top it took 8 minutes and 50

seconds
to bring 1 quart of water to a boil. When pouring boiled water into

a cup
with the Easy pour "REVERE" the steam burned my hand. My wife tried

it with
the same result. I then returned it to the store. At customer

service the
lady asked me why?
As I was about to tell them why the lady said you do not have to tell

me I
know why, It burns your hand when pouring!!


An unfortunate experience.

What you are describing would not happen with the product I'm
describing, a whistling tea kettle, maybe it was a different Revere product.

Might try revereware.com for #3527017.

Even Amazon has it for $25.00

Revere was bought out by Corning a few years a go and all manufacturing
went off shore.
