Tesco camping kettle-teapot

[Elen Sentier]

Saw this, extremely cheap. Looks good apart from the stuff on the handle which likely to get burned off. Any opinions?

 

[Perrari]

Looks like good value for money !

 

[Andy T]

If they have any left they are alot cheaper now.......last time i saw them they were down to about £3.

 

[Toddy]

I bought one last time around when they dropped the price to £3.
It's alright certainly for the money. Not meant for over open fires I reckoned, but on a wee stove it's fine.

cheers,
Toddy

I bought 1 for £1.50 last January and they are brilliant!!!
I wish I had bought the lot tbh!!
Wait till after Xmas they will go down but even at a fiver still good value!!
Cheers

Ta peeps. Hubby has gone foraging

 

[jacko1066]

Great decision!!
As toddy says I'm not so sure about actually using it in a camp fire, but I have successfully used mine on a small wood burning stove and Also on a BBQ with charcoal and it survived both no problem!!
He may even get lucky and find them reduced in your local Tesco!!

All the best

I complained to Tesco this Spring as they were asking £7 for them. A plain basic ally kettle without a whistle... £7???

At the same time they were selling fancy electric kettles with the stand alone base for £4.95 in the next aisle!!!

Unfortunately, he didn't find any at all - will keep an eye out for them. And/or look for another elsewhere ...

you can order on tesco direct and have it delivered to your local store for collection. its not a general stock item all the time

the filter looks interresting

 

[Kepis]

I have a similar one and ive used it over open fires no problem at all, either sitting in/on the coals or suspended over a fire, the plastic on the handle is still there despite years of use, i find the wide diameter of the kettle body protects the handle from the heat.

Does the kettle have the filter-thing for tea addicts?

Nope, but apart from a different handle on the lid and the tea strainer, it looks nigh on identical to me

I prefer this, nothing like having the billy simmering on the fire. I do like enamel stuff though
