Peter, did you ever buy a cordless electric kettle? The new Chefs catalog
has a Chef's Choice for $39.95 which holds 1-3/4 quarts of water. It looks
pretty good and is the cheapest I have seen.

I ended up with a Hamilton Beach for about the same price - so far it is
fine.

Thanks,

A -cordless- electric kettle?

How is it powered? Batteries? How many D-cells? Or does it just
hook up to a deep cycle battery?

Think I'm going to have to do a net search for this.

None of the above, Alan. The kettle sits on an electric base which is
plugged into an outlet in the usual way. It can then be lifted off -
different from the usual electric kettle, where the cord often gets in the
way. The kettle comes to the boil remarkably quickly and does free up a
burner on the stove.

Yeah, I'm disappointed. I did a search after I posted this and found
the very model you were talking about. The idea of a battery operated
tea-kettle sounded so ludicrous that I thought someone might actually
have built one. The one you're talking about isn't a bad idea, I
suppose, if you need an electric kettle.

Sounds like a hot plate and a covered pan.
