It boils water. And it looks red. Yay
Update: the tea filter broke and thus the auto shutoff as well (fix this with a towel on the top of the kettle). There’s a fragile plastic rod that attaches to either a string or a spring that controls the tea filter’s mounting. It broke for me and just flopped downwards instead of shutting the kettle. Managed to get a replacement, but I wouldn’t get this exact model.
Always seems to be a tradeoff for the ability to do that. For most uses I find it does ya well enough to use a probe thermometer and water it back to your desired temperature
Yeah, that’s how I’m doing it now, you’d think someone would’ve slapped a rheostat and a calculator screen on one to let me adjust the temp…hell, may just do that myself
It sounds reasonable when ya clunk it out there, but inspires a foreboding in me as though you were going to overvoltage a CRT monitor somehow during the process
