madrobinsMaybe you do get what you pay for. If you spend $20 for a kettle, it is maybe not surprising that the plastic on the handle and spout will melt the first time you use it.
Wait a minute: we had a $12 kettle from Ikea that didn't melt in three years of use. The $20 kettle was a (minor) upgrade. And it (did I mention this?) melted. On the new stove. The clerk at Bed, Bath and Behind was boggled, but didn't give me any argument when I swapped it in. "Um, do you want to exchange this? Or maybe credit toward a new kettle?"
New kettle, thanks. Cast iron enamel, highly unlikely to melt except if the house burns down.
