I need a beautiful electric kettle that will last a lifetime. Any recommendations? I’m willing to pay quite a bit.

    If you have a gas or induction stove you could consider buying a regular kettle. Without electric components they can easily outlast you.

      Please don’t get a stovetop kettle if u have a gas stove. If u have induction though, well then nothing makes more sense than getting a stovetop kettle.

      Heating stuff using gas is :

      • Inefficient: This means that u’ll either have to wait longer or burn more gas
      • Bad for your health

        And yet if you get a stovetop kettle, it works with the heating appliance you have now under the pollution conditions you have now, and (assuming compatible) will work even better once you upgrade to less polluting induction stove

        I wasn’t aware that gas is so much worse. Thanks, I learned something :). Regarding induction, I suppose it only makes sense when you have a high-powered three-phase one.

          Even a plugin induction burner is probably quicker but less convenient

          In the US, plug in appliances can pull 15a @120v. For an actual stove, the burner power depend on the model, but a stove circuit supports 50a@240v. Much. Much. More power

            Nah, just caved to changing it based on your nitpick. Induction cooktops represent such a low margin of the populations cooking needs that I didn’t feel the prior need to be so specific. Common mistake with the internet I guess. 🤷‍♂️
