Traditional teapots are aesthetically pleasing and look attractive on your stovetop, but they often occupy valuable burner space. On the other hand, electric kettles are easy to store and put away after use, and they provide quick results and precise temperature control. Just like a traditional kettle, electric kettles can be used for everything from making hot oatmeal to brewing pour-over coffee, all within minutes — much quicker than most stovetop models.
Analysts at the Good Housekeeping Institute's Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab have tested over 24 electric kettles over the past 10 years. To gather the best models on the market, we evaluate how quickly each kettle comes to a boil, as well as the ease of use features and, of course, the design. After gathering over 1,000 data points, these are the best electric kettles for tea making and more.
