The Elite Gourmet 1.7L Dual Wall Cool-Touch Electric Tea Kettle with Touchscreen Pre-Programmed & Adjustable Temperatures is the best way to prepare hot water for tea, pour-over coffee, and foods that require adding hot water such as instant hot cocoa, oatmeal or noodles and other soups. Simply select one of the pre-programmed temperatures or adjust to the desired temperature, press Start, and it’ll beep twice to let you know that your water is hot & ready. Once the desired temperature or boil is achieved, the kettle will automatically shut off or enter the Keep Warm program (if selected). There’s no need to worry or hover over a kettle or pot on the stove. Safety is paramount, so your kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection & auto-shutoff. If it starts heating and detects the absence of water in the unit, the kettle will automatically shut off to avoid damaging the heating element. The 360° rotating detachable base ensures that there are no restrictions of an attached power cord so you can serve & enjoy your favorite beverages cord free. The Keep Warm function is adjustable for up to 2 hours of hot water. The 360° swivel base also has a hidden cord storage compartment for convenience, so your counters are free of cord clutter and mess.
