kettles
Stovetop water heaters
Kettles are vessels for boiling water, typically with a handle and spout.
An electric kettle heats water automatically; a stovetop kettle sits on a burner.
In British usage, to put the kettle on is to prepare for tea.
A kettle of fish is an entirely different matter—the phrase a different kettle of fish marks a sharp distinction.
In geology, a kettle is a depression formed by melting glacial ice.
