Electric Tea Kettles vs. Stovetop Tea Kettles
At Sur La Table, you’ll generally find two types of tea kettles: stovetop tea kettles and electric tea kettles. Not sure what type of tea kettle is right for you? Consider some of the benefits of each one to determine which you prefer.
Electric tea kettles often feature an automatic shut-off, which allows you to safely heat less water without worrying about burning your teapot. Modern electric tea kettles also provide settings for temperature control and can be used in other areas besides the kitchen, such as at your desk at work. Some new electric tea kettle models also feature preset modes for different types of tea, including green, oolong, white tea or herbal, as well as automatic warming functions that will help your tea stay warmer for longer periods of time. Many customers love that some electric tea kettles, such as the Sur La Table Digital Kettle, have automatic infusers that ensure the best tea flavor with each use.
Stovetop kettles have their benefits, too. Many people enjoy the ritual of using a classic kettle, including the whistle as the steam starts to escape. Stovetop tea kettles can boil water to a higher temperature than most electric kettles. Stovetop teakettles are usually more affordable as well, and work in settings without electricity, like camping. Stovetop kettles can be made from different kinds of materials, including copper and stainless steel. Check the manufacturer’s specifications: some of these stainless steel teapots are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
