kettle

also called electric kettle

A water-heating appliance that heats a jug of water and delivers it, with no further processing of the water into another drink. Beyond the water capacity and keep-warm any water-heater states, a kettle answers how its temperature is controlled (boil-only, presets, or fully variable). A tea maker is a kettle that also steeps tea (the child kind TeaMaker, which adds an infuser and a steep time); a plain kettle has neither. Distinct from a coffee maker (which passes the heated water through coffee) and from a stovetop (non-powered) kettle.
