tea kettles

Boiling water vessels

Tea kettles is the plural of tea kettle, a container for boiling water, typically with a handle, spout, and lid.

Traditional kettles sit on a stovetop; electric kettles heat independently.

Despite the name, tea kettles simply boil water—the tea steeps elsewhere.
