I read to not fill kettle above inner spout opening. Is there 1.2 quarts when filled to the inner spout opening or 1.2 quarts if filled to the top?

My purchase was a gift. The recipient is happy with the quality and size. However, I believe your question would be best answered by manufacturer as I can only surmise that the pot was designed to support the official capacity.

1 1/2 pt will fill it just to the beginning of the inner holes. 1 1/2 qt will fill it to cover all the holes in the spout. Filling it over the holes could result in bubbling over if heat very high, as on an induction burner at 400 degrees. My husband insists on emptying it completely after each use and leaving the cover loose. It's a nice little kettle and as handsome as it looks in the picture.

I don't have the kettle any longer so I cannot answer your question. (Family member left it on stove.) :-( However, I did like the kettle and felt it the price was good.

to near the top, it is 10 quarts, as marked inside the bucket. Useful and more manageable, not spilling when carrying, easily 2 gal. It is a more sturdy bucket that anything available at places like Walmart. Like I said, it is marked inside bucket every 2 quarts. If you need a 2-qt bucket, it is wonderful. I've had one just like it for 15-20 years. Still good, I just wanted a second one.

The skillet has a three quart capacity with liquid coming to 1/4 " from the top of the pan. My experience is that you can cook with 2 to 2 1/2 quarts of liquid comfortably without worry of boil over.

At the minimum line there's approximately 12-13 oz. of water in the kettle. Let's call it 12 oz. because that's a more reasonable number.

Bottom of nipple is 1" above bottom. Don't need dip tube. When draining I tilt the kettle and drain almost all contents. When washing out I typically dump wash water heel over the side of the kettle into sink. If are keeping the kettle upright then you either accept a 1" heel or add a dip tube.

I have the dimensions for the 4.5 quart kettle, though I don't know if that will help much. The full height, with the handle straight up, is approximately 10.5 inches; if the handle is down and not including the lid, it is approximately 5 3/4 inches. The lid height, when on the kettle and including the knob, is approximately 1.5 inches. The diameter, not including the spout, is approximately 7.5 inches; including the spout is approximately 11 inches. The lid opening is just shy of 6 inches.For the bigger pot, I am guessing it will be perhaps 1 to 1.5 inches higher, but otherwise the same. Please note that these dimensions are approximate.

The 1.5 quart pot is 3.5 inches deep. We do not have the 2 quart size, but the photo shows it to be a deeper pot than the 1.5 quart size.

The capacity listed on the pot is 7.5 L or 7.9 Quarts. You can only fill to 2/3 capacity to allow proper functioning but we have never filled it more than 1/2 full.

Actually the handle doesn't come off to allow filling and you have to fill it from the spout! I immediately returned this kettle and don't recommend it. For $100 you can get yourself a solid and beautiful Chantal or All Clad. They have their issues, but at least they are not ridiculous.

The kettle I ordered does NOT whistle! And it is also only about a 1 quart capacity, not 2 quarts as it specified. Don't order this kettle--- it is generally unsatisfactory, as the handle gets so hot it is necessary to use a pot holder to pour; it does not whise; and the lid does not stay on tightly !

YES. I just bought this (and returned it) Jan 2015. And in the version I got there IS plastic inside. Where the handle meets the container the plastic pokes through inside! The plastic is above the Max fill line, however plastic IS exposed to water. If you're looking for a plastic free kettle look elsewhere! THERE IS PLASTIC INSIDE (all be it a very small amount).

You are absolutely correct, we messed up and it is a typo. They hold as follows: Small holds 1.25 qts, the medium holds 3.5 qts, and the large holds 4.5 qts (not to the border but a quatity you would would normally put in a pot without it spilling). I hopw that helps, and we have updated the listing to have to correct information. Thanks for pointing it out.

It is recommended, not to fill the skillet more than 2/3 of its capacity. Which is about 2 quarts of water.

I measure with Water and it is 4 quarts, it say 4-1/2 but the bottom is smaller and gets wider at the top.

Hi, I'm sorry to answer your question this late. I normally have 5-6 cups of water and that fills up about slightly half the height of the kettle. It is a very light, yet well constructed piece. When you pour the water out and it gets close to empty the lid tends to pop out a little, I normally have my thumb touching on the knob and it is never a problem. I have used about 5 different kettles, le creuset, an english one, another us made one and a china made one, this is the best one. Take care, I hope my answer gives you some helpful info for your decision.

Maximun 1.7 liters; this is a wonderful kettle, heats up very quickly with auto shut off; attractive as well.
