The Sterling Check® Tea Kettle by MacKenzie-Childs is a standout piece that combines function and artistic beauty. Crafted from stainless steel and enamelware with charming checkered accents, it enhances any kitchen décor. Users praise its stunning design and craftsmanship, often referring to it as 'jewelry for the stove.' While beautiful enough to display, it’s also practical—rust resistant and compatible with electric smooth top stoves. However, some note the wooden handle can heat up or feel unstable, so use caution when handling. For best care, hand-wash and avoid induction cooktops to maintain its elegant finish.

| Product Care | Before using your kettle for the first time, remove all labels and wash thoroughly. Use over medium flame on gas ranges, medium to high settings on electric ranges, and low to medium settings on ceramic top ranges. Never boil dry, as this could cause damage to both your kettle and cooktop. Do not use induction cooktops. Hand-wash with mild soap and dry immediately to preserve the finish. Do not microwave. Handle enamelware with care and discontinue use for food service if it becomes chipped, cracked, or broken. |
