Aldercraft Kilnhouse Enamel Kettle

The Kilnhouse is a porcelain-enameled steel kettle in a deep glazed blue with a cream handle — the kind of piece that lives on the stove because it looks right there. Enamel over steel heats evenly on gas and electric burners and the glass-like surface will not pick up flavors or rust, though it asks the same care as enameled cookware: no dry boiling, no thermal shock from cold water into a hot kettle, and hand-washing to keep the finish glossy. Capacity is 1.5 liters, enough for a full press pot or a pot of tea. It pours from a wide spout rather than a gooseneck, so pair it with a thermometer for pour-over or use it for immersion methods where flow control matters less.
