Attractively housed in polished stainless steel, this electric  kettle makes a striking presence on any kitchen counter or buffet. Use it to quickly bring up to 1.5 liters of water to a rolling boil for making anything from tea, instant coffee, and hot cocoa to oatmeal, instant soup, noodles, and more. The kettle lifts off its 360-degree swivel base for easy filling at the sink or for graceful serving without the hassle of a power cord; it can also be returned to its power source from any direction. For safety, the kettle shuts itself off automatically once the water has reached a boi. It also includes a water-level indicator, a comfortable stay-cool handle.
