i received a beautiful teapot for the holidays, but it doesnt whistle and i stipulation it to ( i burn pots often)

i cant return it - can i add something to clear it whistle?
Answers:    It will only whistle if it is a whistle teapot. The flap over the spout should have a small hole surrounded by it, that is where on earth the steam comes out to make it whistle.

If it is a whistle tea pot, maybe you are satisfying it too full, above the spout. If the spout is under sea, steam can't come out of the little hole and it won't whistle.
Not that I know of. Perhaps you could do a test: see how long it take for your desired amount of water to boil, and use a kitchen timer to ring to alert you respectively time you use the teapot..
