It boils water. And it looks red. Yay
Update: the tea filter broke and thus the auto shutoff as well (fix this with a towel on the top of the kettle). There’s a fragile plastic rod that attaches to either a string or a spring that controls the tea filter’s mounting. It broke for me and just flopped downwards instead of shutting the kettle. Managed to get a replacement, but I wouldn’t get this exact model.
Update 2: my roommate closed the lid a little too hard and it shattered the glass. If you are shopping for a kettle this one is a little too cheap.
With all of the stainless steel kettles offered by “Big Kettle” it’s nice to finally see some transparency. /s
Well played. Honor to your house and may your tea never oversteep.
