teakettle
Boils water, whistles
A teakettle is a covered container with a handle and spout, used for boiling water on a stovetop.
Traditional teakettles are made of metal and often have a whistle that sounds when the water reaches a boil.
The word is sometimes shortened to kettle, though kettle can also refer to other pot-like vessels.
Put the teakettle on and I'll make us some tea.
