Boil water faster than your stove or microwave oven with Chef's Choice 681 Cordless Electric Kettle. A generous 1 and ¾ quart (1.7 liters) capacity with a convenient water level gauge built into the handle for easy measuring. The powerful 1500 watt heating element is hidden beneath the stainless floor of the unit, so it's never in contact with water, eliminating build-up of mineral deposits on it so it never corrodes and allows for easy clean-up. The revolutionary 360 degrees cordless design allows the kettle to be lifted from its base for convenient filling and serving. Handsomely constructed of high-quality brushed stainless steel, the kettle ensures years of service. The cool touch bottom, automatic shut-off, boil-dry safety shut-off, and push button single hand lid opening features guarantee safe use. One year manufacture warranty.
