So, one of the things I love the most in my kitchen is my red KitchenAid tea kettle. Well, one of the things I did love the most. You see, the tea kettle had a little incident a few nights ago.
I had settled in comfortably to watch a movie when I realized I really needed some of my Yogi Lemon Ginger tea (this does wonders for queasiness and indigestion!). I jumped up, put some water to boil in my kettle, then sat back down to start the movie. Little did I know I had made The Big Mistake. That being that I left the whistling thingy up.
A few minutes after this, having c
ompletely forgotten about the tea kettle, I started smelling something strange. I asked my husband if he had opened up the vents on our wood stove, which can make it get quite hot and emit a strange smell. He answered in the negative, so I assumed it was just me. Another minute after that and I knew I was smelling smoke. I realized my mistake, leapt off the couch, and bolted to the kitchen where, to my horror, my beautiful red Kitchen Aid kettle was almost black from the heat and there was smoke pouring out from underneath it!
At least I had the presence of mind to turn off the burner. However, I couldn’t get the kettle off. I thought for a moment I might have broken both the kettle and the burner, but to my relief it detached easily after my husband poured some water on it. The good thing was that the house did not catch on fire. The bad thing was that my tea kettle was ruined.
So, what is a girl who loves her red kettle to do? Well, dash out and buy another one of course! Which is the whole point of my story. I bought a beautiful, new Chantal tea kettle in red and now I’m thinking maybe the whole thing was Providence.
I absolutely love my new Chantal kettle. I like it… *shhh… close your ears, old kettle* I like it even better than my Kitchen Aid one! It has the cutest little lid, and the handle comes up higher and is easier to grab. The whistling spout thingy is easier to open without burning your hand. My mother, who is quite the cook, tells me that Chantal is pretty good stuff that will last for awhile. I’ll take it!
What happened to the old kettle, you wonder? My daughter is now its owner and it sits on her toy kitchen upstairs. Unfortunately, that doesn’t prevent her brothers from coming in and breaking it, which has already happened once.
All that to say, I highly recommend the Chantal Tea Kettle in any color! (Did I mention that I bought one in orange for a friend for Christmas and she is in love with hers also?) So *shameless plug here* go out and buy a Chantal tea kettle today! You won’t regret it!
