electric kettle
Corded water heater
An electric kettle is a small appliance for boiling water, with a heating element powered by electricity rather than a stovetop.
It typically has an automatic shutoff when the water reaches boiling point.
Standard in British households for making tea, less common in American kitchens: I'll put the electric kettle on.
