Non Steam Burn Kettle

[Chipchopper]

I'm on the lookout for a new electric kettle, most importantly it needs to have a handle well away from any possible escaping steam that could burn the hand whilst pouring.

Any suggestions welcome.

Mine is a dualit one litre cordless....you would need to be a contortionist to burn the hand holding the kettle

Just get one with a side handle.

Any one of these will do, depends on your price point and colour options.

Title confused me. I was thinking, don't all kettles turn water to steam ? And what's a burn kettle, and why would one want one ? (Not a lot of call for burnt water.)

I got a water boiler for xmas - it's great, plus no need to even pick it up to ge the water out Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation

I work with disabled and could never understand why they would make a kettle with a handle on the top as you burn your hand every time you pour. I've got a Tesco one for about a fiver with a handle on the side.

I know lankeela we have a Russell Hobs one just for the style plus and old fashioned wiselling one that goes on wood burner. Stamped GPO 1959.

My kettle is a side handled one but I still manage burn myself with the steam when I pour.
Conversely, the whistling one on the wood burning stove is a top handled type but no steam burns from that so far.
I think it has a lot to do with individual designs, a handle that is well away from the body of the kettle is less likely to burn the hand.
