do you have/use one? I'm not a big tea drinker, but will have one from time to time.
growing up my grandmother (tea drinker) always had a whitling kettle on her stove. we usually did, too.
when microwave ovens came into town, that changed everything. I don't cook much in microwave... mostly heating stuff up.
if I was making iced tea, would be starting with tea bags. i't pull out a big glass/Pyrex measuring cup and boil water to steep the tea bags in.
have had a few cute tea kettles over the year but now have an empty burner to use for something else.
