Reply to comment by casus_bibi in Can anyone recommend a stovetop whistling kettle that doesn't have a plastic handle and coating that peels off? Just an old school basic stainless steel whistling kettle without a point of failure in the handle? by anarchisticmeerkat

Yep, metal with wood or plastic wrapped around is fine. The common move today is to mold a single piece plastic handle and connect it with one very small nut, and the plastic is so soft it wears a larger hole round the nut and the handle comes right off. Think that burn was bad on your hand? Try the whole kettle upended over your body as the handle snaps off one year into its life.
