How does the stopper remain open while pouring?

I'm not sure if its magnetic or not but it stays open well while pouring and I haven't had a problem with it. It's probably a mechanism within the stopper that keeps it either up while pouring or down while boiling.

it lifts up very easily and stays up until you push it back down. it's a spring/cam that holds it open and closed.

There's some tension to the little flippy switch. I don't know how it works, but it does. Also remains closed even if you tip the pot.

I bought this as a gift so I don't have first hand knowledge of how it works.

I have noticed the same. Hold the measuring spoon right against the bottle when pouring. I normally free pour but it is what it is.

Seems odd that it falls out. Is the bottle too big? Maybe not in all the way? It seems to operate like what you might see in a bar when pouring shots. It allows only so much out before you need to turn it right side up again and pour a second time. Mine works great and I love it!!

It has a flat spot as shown in this picture. I guess it prevents the stopper from rolling.

A drop will come out without squeezing the rubber stopper. You may get too much if you squeeze. Try letting it drip. Hope that helps

The stopper is made of glass, no gasket, but the stopper fits in the base securely and we have never had to hold it while pouring.

Leave the baffle in place. The stopper allows water to run past, but it keeps things from falling down like silverware.

When you open it, it stays open without holding it open. Then you can close it.

It stays open. I had to remember to close it so it would work (whistle) the next time I used it!

Provided the "stopper" is in the correct position there is no dripping. Given the design of the product it would have to be on its side or upside down to drip.

When you pick up the kettle from the back of the handle, it is designed to open the whistle lock and it stays that way. It does not stay open unless you are holding the handle towards the back. See the picture. I've had mine for over a year and love it. No complaints and it's very pretty - it looks like it striped in the picture, but it's a solid color.

Tes, you can lift lid w/ hand (not engaging the pedal system) and it stays open.

It is difficult to open, so I often fill it through one of the pouring spouts on the top, a funnel will fit in that space. But I do like that it has never leaked.

There's nothing that holds the lid open. So when you lift it up you need to use your hand to keep the lid open otherwise it will close.

Push the lid all the way back. The rod that opens the lid normally engages in the short end of the L-shaped groove. Carefully slide the rod into the long end of the L-shaped groove. This will keep the lid open.

This is the batch one so I have to put the stopper in place. It is a safety mechanism. You can get one that uses a switch too if you prefer.

Yes, it's a little flap that closes when not in use. When you use the bottle, the flap opens slightly to pour the liquid out.
