teakettles
Pekoe water heaters
Teakettles are kettles designed for boiling water, traditionally heated on a stovetop.
The classic teakettle has a spout for pouring and often a whistle that sounds when the water boils: The teakettle's whistle summoned her to the kitchen.
Though named for tea, teakettles serve any purpose requiring hot water.
