Tea time? Check out these electric kettles
17.10.2019
Translation: Eva Francis
An electric kettle is not necessary at all and yet so useful. Just fill it up, press a button and you have boiling water. Believe it or not, some appliances can do even more than that.
Have you ever thought about kettles? Did you ever think, «my kettle still works fine, but I'd like to get an upgrade»? No? Then it's about time you did. A kettle has one job: it boils water. And it does that really well. You expect a kettle to do more than that? We have those, too. Let's jump head first into the world of electric kettles – in a metaphorical sense, of course.
The beautiful ones
Turn these kettles on and they'll automatically turn themselves off as soon as the water is boiling. What's special about them is their design: they're a beautiful eye catcher in your kitchen.
For purists
Induction or gas cookers usually boil water faster than an electric kettle, so getting a stove kettle is a great idea if you have an induction or gas stove. These kettles are also very elegant – and they might even wolf-whistle you.
For sophisticated tea time
Water shouldn't always come to the boil – some types of tea taste bitter if you pour too hot water over them. Filter coffee enthusiasts and tea lovers are keen to have water an exact temperature. These kettles don't win design awards, but they're very handy.
Those that come with an app
Yes, you read right. Of course, there are also smart kettles. Why do you need one? No idea. I don’t think anyone has ever thought: «I wish there was an app to control my kettle».
For lab rats
Immersion heaters are usually seen in chemistry labs. But use them in the kitchen and they turn any vessel into a kettle. If you're impatient, try it out on your pasta water: it's sure to boil in no time at all.

Simon.Balissat@digitecgalaxus.chWhen I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
