Match the base size to the burner so flames do not lick up the sides and blacken the body. Descale periodically with a solution of water and vinegar, since limescale insulates the base and slows boiling. Do not leave the whistle cap closed while storing, as trapped moisture corrodes the mechanism. Lift by the handle only, and check the handle fixing occasionally on a kettle in daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst an electric kettle, a stovetop model works during power cuts and on gas, charcoal or camping stoves.
