Often times the kiddo's need us or we have farm-chores that pop up and we aren't available to kill the power ourselves...
Has anybody seen an accessory/adapter that kills power to the circuit after 5 minutes or so? I'd really like to get this under control, especially before we start trying to cool the house for summer as it seems so counter-productive.

Why not just pull the plug when the kettle boils the water?
What I have read is that the kettle is supposed to cut off after the water reaches boiling point so I am assuming your electric kettle is coming back on when the temperature lowers?

I would say a mechanical timer installed in a switch adaptor but for the same amount of money you can buy a kettle with an auto off and no wiring changes.
