Toastess Cordless Electric Glass Kettle is the most economical way to boil water – faster than a microwave, safer than a stove top. It is made of high quality German Schott Duran lab-quality borosilicate glass with an advanced heating technology in a concealed element. This permits fast and easy cleaning. The auto ‘boil & off’ switch has an indicator light. The kettle automatically shuts off when water starts boiling. It quickly starts the boiling process at the touch of the switch. The kettle automatically shuts off if it remains plugged and is dry.
This kettle has a snap tight lid and will boil as little as 2 cups (500 ml) of water. An aqua-screen water filter keeps the water free from any debris. The handy cord wrap eliminates counter clutter. The Duran glass is also made to withstand bumps against different services. Beware: The glass does get very hot.
Have you been looking for a really good quality electric kettle for under $40? The Hamilton Beach 1.7 quart capacity Ensemble pouring kettle will brighten up your kitchen.
This red and white kettle uses up to 1500 watts at the flip of a switch to heat the water fast. The heating element is concealed and it has boil-dry protection. Other features include drip-free pouring, easy pull-up lid and cord storage in the bottom. One more thing, it really adds cheer to any kitchen.
Electric kettles are so much safer and faster than a stove top one. I just bought an electric cordless kettle and like it a lot. However, the one I got is load when it fist begins to heat up. One minute later, it is starting to boil and not as loud. In fact, it is almost quiet. It seems a little heavy sometimes as well, but when you fill it to the full 10 cups that is an extra 5 pounds to the 3 pounds of the electric kettle. The base weights about a pound.
Despite the weight issue, I really like my Hamilton Beach electric kettle with a mesh filter. Some day when I’m rich and famous I might get the programmable one for $30 more. Do you have an electric? Do like it. I’m offering 5% discounts to anyone who lets me know what they think of their electric kettle and what brand it is. This discount is good for anything in the shop. Have a nice week-end!

Just add Hot Water Cappuccino
Weather here in the Pacific Northwest has been like being on a roller coaster; one day it’s in the mid- 50s and the next in the low 40s. One cool Sunday the sun was out and the sky was a light blue. At the same time, snow fell lightly toward the ground and left a few white patches on the shaded ground.
As the weather goes, sometimes our lives seem to go the same way with ups and downs. At the end of the day, which usually around 7 or 8, I ready to relax. My favorite is a cappuccino with a light bit of whipped cream on top. With all the new cappuccino pre-made ingredients, all you need is very hot, but not boiling water. Care to join me!
Tea for a Change!
Ever decide you want to have a cup of tea instead of coffee. That happened to me today. I started my electric kettle for some hot water and looked through my tea assortment. Something sweet, I thought, but not too sweet. I choose an herbal wild raspberry tea and put the bag in my mug and poured in the hot water.
Ah, what a change. What a wonderful relaxing change as I drank the tea. And, thank goodness for an electric kettle that heats water so quickly and then turns off when the water gets to boiling, which added to my relaxation. No worries, just a relaxing tea to enjoy.
