There are times when having hot water at your fingertips is a must. Not just for making that odd cup of tea or instant hot chocolate but, also for those quick cups of soup and packets of instant oatmeal that college kids live on. Having the right cordless kettle for those "just add water foods" in life simply makes sense. So here are some tips on choosing the right electric cordless kettle for you.
Durability
If that electric cordless kettle is going to be sitting in that dorm room or an office with people running in and out, accidents will happen. Which means you are going to want a cordless kettle that is durable. Choosing a stainless steel electric cordless kettle will give you the durability you need. If on the other hand your kettle will be in your kitchen where durability may be less of an issue then either a glass cordless kettle or a stainless steel kettle will look right at home.
Automatic Shut Off
People live busy lives and there is nothing worse that having your new electric kettle burn out within days of purchasing because life got a little hectic and your kettle ran dry. Having an automatic shut off to prevent that dry kettle syndrome can help your kettle last years longer and keep you in hot water.
Healthy Materials
Of course you want your electric cordless kettle to stay as sanitary as possible and that just isn't going to happen if you choose one of those plastic kettles. It doesn't take long for these kettles to crack and then all that bacteria hides in all those little tiny cracks. Glass or stainless steel cordless kettle are much more sanitary and far easier to keep germ free.
Price
Price is also important. While you don't want to pay an arm and a leg for something that just heats water you do want something that is going to last. Choosing an electric cordless kettle in the $50.00 to $75.00 dollar range should give you a great kettle at a fair price.
A Few Bells And Whistles
People who are going to use their cordless kettle on a regular basis will be pleased to know that there are kettles out there with a few special features. Two of the most popular features are the variable temperature control that allows you to heat the water to the exact temperature you need for steeping that perfect pot of tea.
Another great feature is the hold temperature function which is great for people who enjoy a second cup of hot chocolate on that cold winter's night. It allows you to keep your water hot without it boiling away.
A 360 degree swivel base allows you to easily get your kettle off the heating element with either your right or left hand or reaching over other things that may be on the counter.
Electric cordless tea kettles are great to own not only for tea lovers but, for all those "instant" moments in life.
