What is an "electric kettle"?
An electric kettle is an appliance used to quickly heat water. It has a heating element at the base that heats up when powered on, causing the water to boil faster than on a stove. Electric kettles are commonly used to make tea, coffee, or hot beverages and can also be used for tasks like preparing instant soups or oatmeal. They typically have a handle for easy pouring, a lid to keep the water from spilling, and an automatic shut-off feature to prevent overheating once the water reaches boiling point.
