The Elite Cuisine 18Qt Touchscreen Pre-Programmed & Adjustable Temperature Electric Water Kettle is the best way to prepare hot water for pour-over coffee, tea 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 desired temperature, press Start, and you'll have hot water in minutes. Once the desired temperature or a boil is achieved, the kettle automatically shuts off or enters 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. There are no restrictions of an attached power cord so you can serve & enjoy your favorite beverages cord free. With the 360° rotating detachable power base, the Keep Warm function is adjustable for up to 2 hours of hot water. The base also conveniently contains a hidden cord storage compartment, so your counters are free of cord clutter and mess.
