Product Description: This compact cylindrical kettle boasts a sparse post-modernist '70s design with some whimsical touches, such as a mystical blue-beaded lid handle and a row of raised dots hammered into the steel around its upper circumference. However, the Ottoni's form also has a function: its slightly wider base directs heat upward so water boils 50 percent faster than in other kettles. In fact, it takes only 8 minutes to boil about 2 pints of water, although the Ottoni can hold a maximum capacity of 64 ounces or 2 quarts. The Ottoni is made of brilliantly polished stainless steel, which matches any kitchen décor, and has a lift-off lid on top for refilling with water. The handle, made of several layers of laminated mahogany, is secured with waterproof glue and sealed with lacquer to keep steam from taking a toll on its appearance. The triangular-shaped spout doesn't have a whistle to alert you when water is boiling so it's advised to stick close by when this teakettle is on the stove.
