It's Tea Time with Le Creuset Tea Kettles
Enjoy freshly-brewed afternoon tea from a Le Creuset tea kettle that whistles when the water's ready. For a streamlined look, select a Le Creuset kettle in the same signature color as your other Le Creuset cookware. This will help give your stovetop a cohesive, intentional feel even when your pots and pans aren't put away. Or, go bold by opting for a brightly-colored Le Creuset tea pot in a contrasting color to act as a focal point on your cooktop. Either way, enhance the look by accenting your kitchen with accessories of the same color—a cerulean vase on the window sill to complement a blue kettle, or red kitchen towels for a cerise teapot. Don't forget the tea cups and saucers; a stainless steel or wooden mug tree hung with stoneware mugs makes an artful display on your countertop. Having company? Fill a wooden serving tray with the essentials: mugs, coasters, your Le Creuset teapot, cream and sugar containers, small plates and a sweet snack, such a pistachio bundt cake.
Choosing A Le Creuset Kettle
You may be asking yourself, what makes Le Creuset tea kettles so special? For one, the construction—made of durable stainless steel and topped with an enamel glaze, Le Creuset stove-top kettles are built to withstand consistent use, and look great while doing so. What's more: the wide, flared base heats water quickly and evenly to give you a shorter wait time. Not sure how to tell when the hot water is ready? Le Creuset whistling kettles let you know when it's time to turn off the stove and pour yourself a cup. A classic kettle is just the right size for households with multiple tea drinkers, while a Le Creuset demi tea kettle makes smaller batches for enjoying by yourself or with a friend. If you prefer coffee to tea, consider adding a Le Creuset French press to your kitchen. Add your favorite ground beans to the press, top with boiling water from your kettle and pump the plunger a few times for fresh aromatic coffee, espresso or cappuccino. To care for your Le Creuset teapot and French press, simply dump out the remaining water and coffee grounds, give them a quick rinse and replace them in the cabinet so they are ready for the next use. Can't get enough of the brand's iconic French-inspired design? Be sure to explore Le Creuset stainless steel cookware and Le Creuset Dutch ovens.
