I'm looking for suggestions for a quality electric tea kettle that shuts itself off?

Well, we 'burn' water in this house and have ruined three small stainless steel pans used to heat water over the years  

I need to buy a long lasting tea kettle with no plastic parts that shuts itself off at a boil.

R  Ranson, I've looked and looked for what I thought I remembered was a thread you began for teakettles but with no luck.

Has anyone found a reliable long lived one?
...as small as a quart and maybe up to two quarts capacity?

thanks!

I forgot about this one.

We recently bought a new kettle because I was getting nervous of the glass shattering (we had some modern Pyrex shatter again recently)  or getting knocked on something hard while full (vision issues and general problems with spacial awareness).  The kettle still works great (amazon basics), but no longer a good match for the human.

This time we went with a ninja because it looks good and we are very happy with the ninja air fryer.  It turns out it has different temperature settings and has a setting to hold at a specific temp for an hour or so.  There is slight insulation to the design, but not much.  Strong initial draw on power, but it maxes out at 1400w which is standard for a kettle these days.  No plastic touching the water, and removable from the base for easy use.  1.7L which is our minimum requirement for a kettle, but it doesn't have to be full.  I just like it as a storage place for preboiled room temp water for morning drinks.  They make smaller versions.

The biggest downside is the north american version only speaks fahrenheit.  In canada, we tend to be bilingual about temperature based on what thermometer is available.   Most homes and ovens are in F.  Outside temp and liquides are in C.  Trying to figure out what 100C is in F while too lazy to look it up was a challenge.   It's 2-something?  Then I found smaller letters saying boil, so I choose that one.

thank you R.!
that's the thread I was trying to find with the search engine!
I will check that out.

I many times heat a bit of coffee in a small pan, walk away and it boils dry....we are guilty of burnt oatmeal also.  I've not decided if this is age related or from having a house with more space rather than our one room cabin where needing to  tend the fire prevented most boil away catastrophes.

Search engines can be mean that way.

I forgot to add, auto off with a little musical diddy, but it's not very loud so I can still use it in the middle of the night.

I've been mulling over this for years, and the best solution I can think of is a programmable induction burner and any compatible kettle that you like. They are cheaper now than they used to be, still much more expensive than an electric kettle, but no plastic touching the water and the burner can be used for cooking with cast iron as well.

I ended up getting a "water boiler" a couple months ago. Ours is by Zojirushi. These are designed to boil a larger quantity than a typical kettle and hold it hot all day.

My 1.7L kettle was showing signs of wearing out, and at first I thought I wanted to get a smaller kettle, as I frequently used it for just 1-2 cups of water at a time, and with a 2 cup minimum that led to a lot of water being dumped. 4L capacity has been pretty good most days for the 2 of us who WFH and drink a lot of tea.

It's got a timer so ideally I fill it up at night and set a timer to have hot water for the morning. We have time of use electrical pricing here so I can the boiling around 6am when it's still cheap.

Cons are it takes longer to boil than a kettle, partly because it's a larger quantity, and then it doesn't hold it at boiling so if you really want fresh boiling water it's not the best option. There do seem to be some parts that wear out (gaskets and sometimes the entire lid?) but replacements are available. It is lined with some sort of non-stick thing which I don't love. Our particular model is very musical and while you can set it to be quieter it forgets if it's unplugged more than a few minutes.

We got a 'Veda' from 'Paderno, which has all-metal for the boiling parts, and runs nicely.
