Kettle

A kettle, sometimes called a tea kettle or teakettle, is a device used for heating water for tea or coffee, commonly with a lid, spout, and handle. Strictly speaking, this refers to a stovetop kettle, which uses heat from a cooktop. An electric water boiler, which is a small kitchen appliance with an internal heating element, may also be referred to as an electric kettle.
