MacKenzie-Childs Sterling Check Enamel Tea Kettle - 2 Quart

Sterling Check is MacKenzie-Childs at its most understated — the signature color-dragged grid in subtle shades of grey that layers with almost anything: modern stainless kitchens, traditional farmhouse settings, and everything between. The 2-quart brings that versatility to the everyday stovetop ritual at the right scale — enough for one to four cups, a kettle that improves the look of whatever kitchen it lives in without competing with it.

Hand-painted grey checks on heavy-gauge steel, brass accents with glass knob, bronzed stainless steel rim. MacKenzie-Childs enamelware exceeds both federal food safety regulations and California's Proposition 65 standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Sterling Check 2-quart work on induction?
No — compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops only. For induction, the Sterling Check Electric Kettle is the right choice.

How does Sterling Check compare to Courtly Check?
Same check geometry and construction. Sterling Check uses subtle grey hues vs Courtly Check's bold black-and-white. Sterling is the more versatile, understated option — particularly suited to contemporary kitchens.

What's the difference between the 2-quart and the Whistling Kettle?
The Whistling Kettle holds 2 quarts in a wider body (5.5" base) with a whistling spout. The standard 2-quart is taller (7" base) with no whistle.

Is Sterling Check dishwasher safe?
No — hand-wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Do not microwave. Discontinue use for food service if enamel becomes chipped, cracked, or broken.
