Kettles.
They see a lot of action in one day. I’m not one for hot drinks, but my Craig can’t function without injections of caffeine. Then, for those of us with small babies, there’s the never-ending cycle of boiling and cooling water for bottles.
In fact, the average person here in the UK will use the kettle more frequently than any other kitchen appliance. Yet, how often do we all get around to upgrading this essential bit of kit? Not often enough.
On around its millionth boil, our kettle is crying out for retirement, in fact, I’m scared to go near it when it’s cranking up to 100 °C. It’s also lost that posh chrome finish it had when we rescued it from the shelf of a hardware store all those years ago. The Russell Hobbs has logo worn away, and watermarks and limescale have aged it back to Victorian times.
So we’re gearing up to welcome a swish new Morphy Richards Elipta traditional kettle in red to our home. Just as Heidi is making the monumental switch to cow’s milk, we’re sending our kettle to the tip to live a more peaceful life away from our chaotic kitchen.
Shopping for it (who am I kidding? - shopping for anything) was easy. Our kitchen is inherited from the house’s previous owners and is, I think, classed as a farmhouse kitchen. There’s more than a nod to Morocco in the colour scheme and red just seemed to fit. As ever, we went to those stalwarts of all things Home; House of Fraser, and opted for a funky traditional design. And lucky you as they’ve kindly given me a second one to giveaway!
Here’s the spec:
- 3kW element
- 360º cordless base
- Removable limescale filter
- Concealed element
- 1.5L capacity
- Illumination in water gauge
- Cord storage
- Stainless steel
- 360° rotating base
