Q: I have had two of these tea kettles. Both rust inside and the paint is chipping off the bottom.

submitted by Wally06 - 4 months ago

  • A: We have used ours just a few times and suddenly the bottom is melting away. I have had the same kettles for decades before and there was never a problem. Why is there even a painted surface on the bottom? I had my stove catch on fire from a pot like this once. So scary.

    submitted byTiffany - 3 months ago

Q: Has anyone else experienced the black paint flaking off the bottom of the pan. I am also wondering if these flakes are dangerous if the fall into your drinks?

Q: Does it discolor over time with heat? All my other kettles have discolored from heat/flames etc. but I’ve purchased pretty cheap ones

submitted by WacaJeddy - 5 months ago
  • A: Cuisinart tea kettles can discolor with heat, particularly on the bottom surface. This is a common characteristic of stainless steel, where high temperatures cause oxidation and discoloration, often described as heat tint.

Q: how long does the handle remain cool touch

submitted by Homer - 5 months ago
  • A: Thank you for your question, it looks like there is some miss information as this tea kettle does not have stay cool handles. Cuisinart always recommends the use a potholder or mitt when pouring. Handles may become hot, especially if other pots are being heated on the range.

    The paint on the bottom of the kettle began peeling and flaking after approximately 18 months of use. It also made a acrid and unpleasant smell when heating. I contacted Cuisinart and they told me that it was a "cosmetic" issue not covered by the warranty and that is should clean the kettle interior. Extremely disappointed not just in the quality of the item but in the quality of the service. Will be looking to avoid cuisinart products in the future.

    It heats fine, pours well, and we like the spout design, but the paint began peeling from the bottom and around the lid after the second use. More paint peels off whenever we wash it. It's also prone to rust on the inside, which if you don't scrub your water boiler once a day can go unnoticed. Wish I'd spent a few extra bucks on a better kettle; I wanted this one to last us years.

    We’re sorry to hear about the issues with your kettle and appreciate you sharing your feedback.

We’re happy to review replacement options or alternative models that may better meet your needs for long-term use.

    Badly made

    I bought mine and used it. The glue started to melt at the spout whistle. Not worth the money
    1 reply from Product Expert team - 5 months ago
    We’re sorry to hear about the issue you experienced and appreciate your feedback. The spout assembly should remain secure under normal use, and overheating the exterior or placing it on an overly high flame can sometimes affect adhesive components. If your kettle is not performing as expected, our Consumer Assistance Team would be happy to help at 1‑800‑726‑0190.

    Kettle Bottom is Peeling!

    I have only had this kettle for 9 months. The bottom is peeling and flaking and emits an awful smell. It took me a bit to identify that the kettle bottom was the source of the toxic smell. In the trash it goes. I would have expected much more from a top brand like Cuisinart. What a shame.
    1 reply from Product Expert team - 5 months ago
    We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the kettle and understand how concerning the odor and flaking must have been, especially after only nine months of use. That is certainly not the experience we want for our customers, and we appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. Your comments will be forwarded to our product team. This item is covered by a limited warranty, and our Consumer Service team would be happy to assist. Please feel free to contact us at 1-800-726-0190.

    After two weeks of use, the paint on the bottom is flaking off and emits a terrible smell. I use it once a day for my mornIing tea. Iliked the design but will replace with another brand. Don't waste your money. I will be using a saucepan until I replace.

    Save yourself $35 and don’t buy this junk. I’ve had it a week and the little plastic cap already melted. This thing is junk.

    Hi there, we’re sorry to hear about the issue with your Cuisinart 2qt Stainless Steel Stovetop Kettle.

If you’ve already tried these precautions and are still experiencing issues, please contact our customer care team at 1-800-726-0190. They’ll be happy to provide further assistance or explore replacement options.

    Rusted after 6 uses

    The inside of this pot has about 10 small rust spots and the entire ring inside around the spout rusted after only a handful of uses. Not worthy of the Cuisinart name.

    If I could give it a zero I would. Other than aesthics nothing else is good. It stains and rusts in months and those defects are not covered by the warranty. What a joke!
