Thank you!

Yep, metal with wood or plastic wrapped around is fine. The common move today is to mold a single piece plastic handle and connect it with one very small nut, and the plastic is so soft it wears a larger hole round the nut and the handle comes right off. Think that burn was bad on your hand? Try the whole kettle upended over your body as the handle snaps off one year into its life.

Fuck I wish that were true where I lived. Hard to reach country, all goods are low stock and overpriced, even in thrift stores.

I’d prefer low end, the lower the better, but the problem I’ve noticed is they all have plastic as a point of weakness. I’ve gone though two in two years that use plastic in the handle and it just doesn’t handle daily boiling.

Nah doesn’t need to whistle, just has to be a stove top.
