What is a "kettle"?
A kettle is a container used to heat water, typically for making tea, coffee, or other hot drinks. It usually has a handle for easy lifting, a spout for pouring, and a lid to prevent water from splashing out. Kettles can be made from various materials, such as stainless steel, glass, or plastic. Electric kettles have a built-in heating element and boil water quickly, while stovetop kettles are placed on a burner to heat the water. Kettles are common in kitchens for their convenience in quickly boiling water.
