Buying Your Next Kettle

Do not buy your next kettle on the spur of the moment, especially it represents an investment. Think over your options. You need counter-top space among your other appliances for an electric model. They boil water faster than stove-top models, but they are safer with automatic shut-off. However, the size of most stove-top models allows for more creative design.

Choose your kettle size based on your tea-drinking habits. Small meets most needs, and large can be heavy to lift and slower to boil. Choose your brushed stainless steel kettle for versatility, durability, usability, and beauty.
