Is it possible to keep the whistle rid open without holding it?

Yes. The lid has a spring loaded hinge, it will clamp shut from all positions until it is pulled back all the way; at which point it will stay open

Yes, you can keep the whistle lid open to pour the water. This is my second All Clad whistling tea kettle. The first one did not whistle and this one does whistle but you will not hear it if you move out of the kitchen. It is not the best whistling kettle. My first one I returned to the company because it just did not whistle at all. All in all, I am not as happy with this All Clad kettle because of the weak whistle.

Yes. The whistle lid will stay open without holding it. After you pour the water, you must push it down to re-close it. Excellent kettle! Highly recommended. I hope this helps....

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

No. The microphone is integrated and cannot be removed. It can be rotated upward out of the way.

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.

Yes, the whistle cap stays locked in up position while the water is boiling.

Well, the whistle tells you it's done. Without it, you could potentially leave the room and come back to have found all your water boiled away and damage your kettle. I also think that it forms a seal so that the heat stays inside and your water heats faster. So the short answer is yes, if the whistle bothers you, leave the thingy up and you won't hear it, but I think there are potential drawbacks.

Yes. However, it should be in placed while cooking. it can be removed only after the pressure is released completely and can be washed. Thw whistle is to maintain the required pressure while cooking.

No. The cap unscrews from the body. The cap itself is hinged. It has a really good stopper and locks. Also, the mouthpiece pops out easily for cleaning.

Not in my experience - there's a metallic rim that goes over the enamel on the spout, shielding it from the cover. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to test this out, as my spout cover stopped closing completely roughly two weeks after I started using the teakettle, rendering the whistle feature useless.

No there is no built in way to hold the cap in the up position. You will be a slave to the Whistle. But, you also won't forget that the Kettle is on the stove.

no. u just blow air into the end, like a whistle. beats all the mess if you've got small children using them.

Manually. There is a lever, which easily locks the spout lid in the open or closed position You can leave the spout lid in the upright position, if you want to, but if you do that, the kettle will not whistle. It whistles when the kettle lid and the lid on the pour spout are both securely in place (and when the water is hot, of course).

I use it only at my weekend house and don't remember if it has a whistle. Not only do you need a whistle, but you need one you can hear!

Yes, a very loud whistle is created by a "ball and valve" system in the spout. When you pick up the kettle, it should have a bit of a rattle which is that little ball jiggling. You will love this kettle!!!

yes, you can leave the whistle flipper up.This kettle performs even better than it looks

No, you can not. The cover needs to be open for any type of volume adjustment. Hope that helps!
