Question 1

Where is this tea kettle made

Accepted Answer

This is a great kettle and All-clad products have been in my kitchen for a long time. As for the US vs China made, I'v been working with factories in China for the past 20 years and their manufacturing has come a long way from the cheap "made in China" days. Actually, very sorry to say, since China ships all over the world, most of their tier 1 companies meet or beat any US standards. I still try to purchase products from the US, but it's getting harder to get the quality we're used to.  To make sure you are getting a quality item from any country, including the US, do a little research on a product and see if it ships to Switzerland. If so, than the quality meets the highest standards in the world, much higher than here.

Question 2

How long does it take for the water to boil?

Accepted Answer

Not long! Unfortunately we cannot provide an exact time as there are a lot of factors involved including the amount of water, the starting temperature of the water, the heat source, and so on. Though, there's no need to stand around and wait (a watched pot never boils!) - you can hear the kettle whistle when your water is ready.

Question 3

Is this kettle made in America like the pots and pans?

Accepted Answer

It's made in China, and I see they are using the words from Calphalon's book, that it's made in China, but to the same specifications that it was in the US. I sold both of these brands at a luxury department store when both were still made in the US, and now that they are made in China. When you handle these products all day, you can feel the difference in quality. Customers return them more often, the ones I buy are not as good. My old selling point used to be that these would be the last pans you ever needed to buy, not anymore. You'll get 10 years out of it not 50.

Question 4

Just to double check: is it US made or "imported" (aka "made in China")? Anybody knows a us made product (or a European, other than Alessi)?

Accepted Answer

I do not know it is not stamped on my kettle and I no longer have the box.  I too try to by only "made in the USA", I think some All-Clad is manufactured in China.
