Title: Dangerous and cheap: not the All Clad I used to know
Review: I bought an All Clad tea kettle over ten years ago from Williams-Sonoma, and it was beautiful and wonderful. It was almost identical to this one. My original developed a leak at the weld around the spout, and I took it back under warranty and received this style as a replacement. I HATE IT. It's not as pretty, because the spout lines are different (they fixed the weld issue which elongated the base of the spout in an awkward flat spot) and they added plastic to the underside of the handle. The new spout shape causes the kettle to spit water all over the place when pouring. Also, water leaks out of the lid when you pour. So it's difficult to not get burned, while also not making a mess, and never mind actually putting water in the cup where you want it. Plus, the plastic handle gets very hot. I am really, horribly disappointed and see this as the end to my loyalty as an All Clad customer.
