To me, it's a "regular" kettle.

Many people in the US still use them.


Wow that to me looks like it belongs in a museum! I'd call it a Victorian kettle haha!

I guess putting it on a hob rather than a stove saves some time, but isn't it quicker in the electric?

I'm not making fun, I'm just fascinated tbh.

The old style kettle has the advantage, when the power goes out it goes on the wood stove and I still have hot water for tea.

A whistling tea kettle is one of those "comfort sounds" I remember from childhood.

Hearing it meant that my dad was drinking coffee instead of beer.
