Fellow Stagg

The kettle at six in the morning — stovetop and whistling (Riess, Fellow Stagg, Alessi 9091)

The third specific record on the Kitchen shelf: the stovetop whistling kettle. We weigh Riess enamel (1922–), Fellow Stagg, and the Alessi 9091 (Richard Sapper, 1983–), show where the sub-$100 floor comes from against the average electric kettle's roughly four years, and answer the question the Dutch oven record left open — which kettle you still want to hear thirty years from now.
