[Electronics-talk] Electric tea kettles

[Jenny Keller]

Hi Peter,

Do you have one?  

Is there a part that comes off the electrical part so you can put it in the dish washer?  If not, how do you clean it?

Also, what kind of controls does it have.  A button, on/off switch, dial, etc.  

I don't drink tea, as it is something that Mormons don't drink, but I love hot chocolate, and I've found that the only way to dissolve the powder is to get it hot, like the water in a tea kettle.  the microwave just doesn't do the job.

could you tell me everything you can about it if you own it?

thanks a lot for all your help.

Jenny
