what's the advantage of the gas kettle vs. the regular kettle on a gas stove top.

this is a wonderful kettle. The coils on the bottom give you even heat with a low flame. Well worth the money.

The Simplex models with the coil underneath are more efficient than the kettles with a flat bottom. They can heat up faster with a moderate flame - a large flame is not needed.

that bit on the bottom has a coil inside which allows for a more even and distributed heat when placed on a flame, gas or fireplace.

The copper coils underneath heat up very quickly making for fast-boiling water.

I have a gas stove. But mine heats up evenly. I don't have it on HIGH heat. It's perfect for me.

I use a silular model on my gas cooktop all the time.. I find that a higher heat setting works better.. The more heat, there is, the quicker the corn pops and less time for the time there is for first corns poped to get burned. I use it to make kettle corn, I just use 2 teasoons of oil, 1/2cup of suger, a little salt, heat that up and put in a 1/2cup of corn.

Yes, we've been using it indoors on our gas range. The handle gets pretty hot if you heat the kettle on high so we usually slow boil instead.

I have an induction cooktop, but my daughter has used this tea kettle on a gas stove for six years. It looks great and works well.

Much more so. You have a smaller space to heat, heats up faster and a shorter cooking time.

Both, the bottom of the kettle is flat (we use it on a gas burner), and the handle is cool while the water is boiling.

I'm not sure. I usually put cold water in and have a gas stove an it seems to boils pretty quick. There are a lot of variables though that go into how fast it will boil on different stoves, etc. It definitely does not take longer to boil than any other teapots I've ever had.

I really can't answer your question. we have a standard natural gas stove. It works perfectly for us and it's very easy to clean

Hello there! This kettle is suitable on solid plate, ceramic, radiant heat, halogen, gas and induction stove tops!

I use this kettle everyday of the year on the highest heat setting on my electric stove. I had a gas stove at my old house and likewise used highest gas flame. Absolutely love this item.

I don't know...I have gas. I was not impressed with this, however. The whistle was extremely faint, and the cover moves as you pick it up, exposing you to the steam. I wouldn't buy it. I replaced it with a Paula Deen whistling pot, which is the best ever!

Wasn't sure, so I tried it out. Recently moved to a place that has glass top stove. Kettle works fine

Sorry, I have a gas stove, but I love this tea kettle. Large capacity, easy to fill at center and one hand operation - one button to open, another to close spout. I hope you can find a way to use it with an induction range.

I really don't see any advantage. I think it is just a personal preference, for me anyway. Now that I have had this pan for awhile, I really do prefer cast iron. Although, I do like the handle on this one better. It doesn't get hot like the cast iron because it is quite long.

The anodized cooker has less issues of food sticking and is easier to clean. If you always use sufficient water, there is little advantage
