Let me first say I love All-Clad products and have a large collection of the cookware. The two reasons I buy All-Clad is the quality/purity of the metal and that the manufacturing is done in the united states. Unfortunately this teakettle is not made in the united states and after three months of use I found that the metal quality was very poor.
After three months of daily use I noticed rust spots on the inside bottom of the kettle. This is extremely worrying since that is a sign of un pure stainless steel. Chinese manufactures have been known to use low quality metal to save costs and puts the consumers safety at risk. Low quality stainless steel can contain very harmful chemicals that leech into the food or water and slowly poisons the person using it.
I'm willing to pay a premium for safe cookware and thats why I have purchased All-Clad products but this kettle is not up to the standards that I expect from the company. My recommendation to All-Clad is to only produce there products in the United States where labor laws and quality are regulated.
After noticing the rust spots in the kettle I contacted All-Clad and they stood behind there life time guarantee and sent me a new kettle. I'm thankful for the new kettle but I'm still hesitant to use it since the metal quality is in question. I use a kettle daily for my coffee and tea. I do not want to worry about harmful chemicals in my boiled water.
