These days convenience and speed in the kitchen is the big trend. New kitchen gadgets that solve smaller and smaller problems are cropping up all over the place and for good reason. People have busy lives and are always on the go so the faster they are able to eat their food the better it is. Cordless electric tea kettles are a manifestation of this. These sweet machines are able to boil water much faster than the stove top so they are perfect for making hot chocolate, tea (of course), and even in the box pastas.
I like to compare cordless electric tea kettles to microwaves. Oven is to microwave as stove top is to the tea kettle. These kettles are just faster, easier versions of their older stove top and pot cousins. They heat up to boiling point within 3-4 minutes and will your food ready within minutes. The great part about these is that they’re cordless too. The base plugs into an outlet and heats the actual kettle. Then once your drink or food is ready you simply lift the kettle off of the base and you’re all ready to serve whatever it is that you made.
My kettle is a Cuisinart tea kettle and I don’t go a day without using it at least once, especially in the winter. I routinely mix up my favorite Stephens hot chocolate at night as I’m unwinding for the day and it is an absolute joy. Its also been great for the kids who like to make their macaroni and cheese in it (weird, I know, but it works 
. So if you’re looking to get a cordless electric tea kettle then I would highly recommend any of them in the Cuisinart line simply because I’ve had a good experience with them.
