Which electric tea kettle with selective temp controls has the best accuracy for temps?
+1Chefman electric precision tea kettle. Needed one, it was on a big sale at Target just before christmas so, for $20, I could not go wrong. I spot checked the important temps and 180 degrees is 180 degrees and boiling is 205. That is as hot as it gets on my stove too. Altitude affects boiling temp
Only thing I don't like about it is the dumb blue LED lights.
I am very pleased with mine too.I have a Cuisinart that is very good.
That Oxo kettle does look nice, but the $100 price tag makes my Cuisinart look cheap!
It's so, so nice, though...easy to use, heats fast, pours like a dream. The gooseneck makes gongfu a lot easier...I used to have a kettle with one of those short, stubby spouts, and aiming the water into my tiny Yixings was a pain and a half.
Zojirushi - all the way. It will be a heavy investment but well worth it. Japanese kettles are by far the best and Zojirushi is the top of that batch. I have the Cd-lfc and love it!
Same here. were on number 3. The first one had a quick end when someone in the household not me put it on the gas burner out of habit. The second lasted about 2 years until the top hinge broke. Number 3 has been Very good but never checked temps which i may do i use boil and it doesn't seem as hot as the last kettle we hadI have a Cuisinart that is very good.
Luke,I am slightly obsessed with my Zojirushi travel flask / mug. It is designed with the most impeccable attention to detail. The care executed in thinking about how the customer will actually use it, marks it out as an outstanding product. I imagine other things they make will also be of exceptional design and quality.
On kettles however I use a gooseneck Bonavita PID for my pourover coffees, and in my Aeropress brews. It's excellent, and has given me years of service. The only demerit I can give it, is for the less-than-elegant plastic cover to protect the electronics in the base from water. Careful users won't need to use it at all, however, I can be a bit of a slob.
