Sori Yanagi Tea Kettle ($85)
Who this is for: Give this to lovers of abundant design, tea, and coffee—and the amusement of authoritative them after a machine.
Why we like it: I had been application a Le Creuset enameled tea kettle for a decade, but this summer it assuredly began to blight out. I can’t complain—that was 10 years of reliable service. But for my birthday, I asked my wife, Lindsay, for the matte-finished stainless tea kettle by allegorical Japanese artist Sori Yanagi. (It additionally comes in a able version.) It’s a architecture masterpiece that graces millions of homes in Japan and is acceptable to aftermost above my own lifetime.
I would never absorb $85 on myself for article so simple as a kettle, but back Lindsay and I both acclaimed milestones this abatement by able anniversary added a appropriate gift, I figured, what the heck? I adulation it every time I use it, and she loves alive that she gave me article I adore and treasure.
The kettle is beautiful, and alluringly engineered and constructed: The anfractuous cascade pours calmly and never dribbles, as it’s anchored seamlessly to the wide, shallow, flat-bottomed body, whose anatomy delivers added accelerated baking than archetypal squat-bodied kettles. (I timed mine: 2 minutes, 45 abnormal to accompany a pint of baptize from tap air-conditioned to a abounding boil.) The lid has a brace of detached holes on its bend to let out beef and anticipate rattling—the array of anxious architecture Yanagi was accepted for. And the ergonomic adhesive handle (the aforementioned actual as is acclimated on top-quality kitchen knives) fits the duke altogether and stays air-conditioned back the kettle is heating water. Being fabricated of steel, the kettle will assignment on any blazon of stove—induction, infrared, glass-top, exposed-coil electric—though I anticipate it’s abnormally appealing absorption the cornflower dejected of gas bonfire in a aphotic kitchen. I’m an aboriginal riser, generally up afore the sun; my aboriginal act is to put the kettle on. It’s a amusement to activate the day with this simple but admirable tool.
