Customer Reviews of Alessi Red Bird for Graves Kettle 23703/C
Customer Rating:   Summary: cheap plastic junk for an overpriced kettle Comment: Doesn't sound like a bird, cheap plastic, even cheaper little metal spring clip to hold it in. We thought this kettle and "bird" whistle would be as high-end as the price. Just a rip-off. My old Revereware kettle is back on the stove. This thing didn't last two weeks,... again. You have to pull it out, with hot steam gushing out, before you can pour the water. After a few pots you will toss it if it hasn't broken. zero stars Customer Rating: Summary: perfect kettle whistle replacement Comment: One day in a second-hand store I saw a handsome stainless steel teakettle for $3, which I bought because I liked the lines. (It wasn't an Alessi; lt was less angular and more traditionally spherical. I later discovered that it was a Lagostina, and cost about $200 new.) I never used it until one day the electricity went out--the best reason not have an electric stove--and I was reduced to boiling water on my trusty gas stove. Being absentminded, of course I wandered out of the kitchen lost in a good book and let the kettle boil dry, because it didn't have a whistle to alert me it was boiling. So I went on the internet in search of one--they are hard to find. Eventually I located the stylish Alessi Bird whistle (Availible in the original red; but also in yellow/orange, and white), and it actually fit and looked splendid on the Lagostina kettle. Even if it hadn't, I liked it and would have shaved it down to fit. The bird whistle is whimsically elegant, and effective in reminding me to take the boiling kettle off the flame. I recommend this whistle IF it fits your narrow-spout kettle. More Reviews Replacement bird for the Michael Graves Teapot 
Choosing Appliance -> Convection Ovens Convection ovens allow you to bake more foods (cookies, muffins, etc.) at once with even browning, but without the need to shift and rotate pans. A convection oven is the same as a conventional oven except a fan is installed in the back interior of the oven. The fan is used to blow and force the heat to circulate in the oven and around the food, thus eliminating the need to rotate and shift pans. In reality, though, even with the most expensive convection ovens, you will still need to rotate your foods, because there will always exist still hot spots in the cavity, because the cavity is small. Don't compare home convection ovens with most commercial convection ovens used by bakers and small food manufacturers, because their commercial ovens are much larger than home ovens and commercial ovens don't have any hot spots and therefore, there's no need to shift and rotate pans. Choosing Appliance -> Dishwashers Look for models with adjustable baskets and flexible internal layouts for varying load requirements. For example, a tilting upper basket allows large 30cm diameter plates in the lower basket and extra flaps can be raised or lowered to cater for small items or large pans.
