The KitchenAid 5KEK1701 in a classic cream finish is a variable temperature electric kettle designed to handle everything from delicate teas to quick boiling for coffee or cereals. With a powerful 2400W heating element, it quickly brings water to one of seven precise temperature settings, ranging from 50°C to 100°C. You can keep your water at the ideal heat using the temperature maintenance function, while the boil-dry protection ensures the device shuts off safely if there is no water inside. Built with a durable metal body and a stainless steel interior, the kettle has a 1.7L capacity that allows you to prepare multiple servings at once. Clear water level markings at 0.5L, 1.0L, 1.3L, and 1.7L help you pour exactly what you need.
