I Sing The Kettle Electric - Best Kettle Buying Guide for Compact Living

You need a kettle for EVERYTHING! Boil water for coffee or tea. Pre-boiled water for pasta, rice, vegetables and “just-add-water” meals.

I have narrowed my Kettle Guide down to Borosilicate Glass and STAINLESS STEEL kettles. A kettle should be neutral. Lacking any color, a glass or stainless steel kettle compliments any surroundings.

Also - these are "Jug" Kettles. There is very little Design-ability to mess around with, or screw up the "form-follows-function" rule.

MORE IMPORTANT - there is no color to distract from the elegance of Design and Form of THESE kettles.

There are no squat half-football, semi road cone, faux-retro, pastel, colorful, old-fashioned, goose-necked polka-dotted . . .
Well actually there is One! But it is a CLASSIC!

NOTE: Dimensions are "rounded UP". No one fits things on their kitchen counters by the Millimetre.

PRICING: Vendor prices may change slightly - Up or Down - Without notice. These prices are correct at the time of publication.

Best-Designed Illuminated Borosilicate Glass Kettles to Light Up Your Day

Health and Safety: Because Glass is a non-reactive material, it does leach any flavors or harmful chemicals into your boiling water.

Some Advice About Using Your Kettle

I read on Kitchen Infinity that one can "Prepare warm soup. Cook oatmeal. Boil egg. Cook rice", in a kettle.
A word to the wise: "DONT!"

The writer may be joking. There may even be heathens who perform this sort of tragedy. But I can guarantee you this:
You personally, have neither the inclination, nor the time - or the energy - to CLEAN the kettle afterwards. Not unless you do not care that your coffee or tea tastes a bit like soup or basmathi rice. Get pot and put on stove. Add boiling water. Switch on. Blah blah fish paste etc.

Compact Lifestyle - If You Have to Pay

If You Have to Pay for It . . .

Be aware that in product marketing, the biggest gun is: “Eye appeal is buy appeal”. In a con artist’s world: ‘BS baffles brains’.
In the psychology of intentional distraction, there is “cognitive distraction”. In simple terms, this is the showing of the ‘shiny thing’.

If you have doubts about whether high-quality appliances are worth the money, you do not have to think too deeply about why some things cost more than others.

This article will help you avoid the pit that is represented by the ‘shiny thing’.
