So I am thinking about buying my husband an Electric Kettle for christmas but I have no idea what to look for. I want it large enough for at least 3 cups of coffee. Boils water quickly. Good quality.
I know that they come in huge price ranges but I am not sure what is better. I probably would like to spend around . Can I get a good one for that price?
What should I be looking for?
Watts?
Certain Brands?
Cord or cordless, does it matter if it will be on the counter next to a plug anyway?

I’ve heard people talking about a "hot pot", which is supposed to be similar to an electric kettle, but you can cook noodles and rice in it. It is neither a crock-pot/slow cooker or a rice cooker. Does anyone know the real name for this appliance or where I could find one?
So whenever I use the boiled water from electric kettle and mix it with coffee, it tastes very sticky in my mouth. But when I use the boiled water from microwave and mix it with coffee, it’s not sticky. I don’t like when my coffee is sticky so why does the electric kettle make my coffee sticky? Is there other type of electric water heaters that doesn’t make my coffee sticky?
this only happens with instant coffee. It doesn’t happen with teas and I haven’t tried with ground coffee yet.
If a typical household electric kettle reaches boiling point at 100° celsius and clicks off once it has boiled, at what rate does the temperature decrease?
Lets say for arguments sake, how long does it take to descend to 96° celsius?
Is there an equation to calculate this?
Thanks,

Thanks Scott,
Could you calculate for a hypothetical example. Say a volume of 1 litre of water.
P
A typical modern plastic kettle in a room temp of approx 15° celsius… Just looking for a viable estimate.
Thanks

Ok Indra,
Please see above for edits relating to these variables you mention. I don’t know how to confirm the vessels thermal conductivity… Can we assume it to be some hypothetical value in order to calculate an example based on the aforementioned values.
Thanks again,
P
Thanks everyone. Good answers all round. Disappointed I couldn’t get something more conclusive without performing tests. Will have to use some type of a heat resilient thermometer. Will post results if I ever get around to doing it!
Gonna leave it up for another day just in case Hawking or peers stumble across this conundrum with a solution.
Can anybody actually construct an equation to calculate an approximation?

I lent my electric kettle to a guy on my floor in university residence. Without my knowledge (being the idiot he is) my floormate boiled milk in the kettle to make hot chocolate. I didn’t realize he did this until about a week later when I wanted to use it and noticed a foul smell coming from it. I rinsed it with some water and there were numerous flakes of dried milk in it. Also, the elements in the kettle appear to be coroded. What can I do to repair the kettle so i can use it again? Or will I just have to buy a new one?
I’m in college and my water bottle supply has been running short. To remedy this, I’ve been refilling my water bottles and putting them in the fridge. Only problem is the water I use is tap, and I can’t fit a water filter/Brita device in my tiny fridge.
I’ve been boiling water in my hotpot/electric kettle and once it cools, I pour it into the bottles (there’s also a mesh filter thing at the end of the spout) and refill them that way.
My question is, is this safe? Or am I inviting more bacteria and germ-y critters into my water by doing this?
Edit: I can’t attach a Pur filter to the sink faucet, as I’m in a dorm where the bathroom is shared by 18-20 other girls. Plus, I simply can’t afford it.
Also, I’m unsure of how ’safe’ our tap water is
How versatile are you in changing and repairing your home equipment?
Do you know how to service your own electric kettle, or your home TV, or change the water pipes of your house? Or perhaps even service your own car or motorbike?
Or are you helpless and need to call the repairman?
