An energy efficient kettle is an essential appliance no household can be without. A decent kettle is a must for warming up water for piping hot cups of tea and pots of coffee. However, this humble appliance is often called for when it comes to boiling water for cooking, preparing formulas for nursing infants, filling water bottles and much more. This energy efficient kettle also offers you variable temperature settings, allowing you to select a serving temperature suited to your particular needs. This kettle is ideal if you prefer your water a little cooler than the usual boiling temperature when making hot drinks, for example. This Duronic energy efficient kettle also offers a keep warm function, making it very energy efficient. Pros This Bosch TWK8633 kettle from the Styline Collection immediately stands out with its innovative base and contemporary finish. The larger base provides you with advanced functionality when it comes to temperature settings and boiling. Use freshly boiled drinking water from the tap to make up a feed. Do not use artificially softened water or water that has been boiled before.

More affordable appliances will provide you with a keep warm function that lasts for around half an hour, although you will find plenty of kettles that will keep water warm for hours at a time. A keep warm feature is incredibly convenient, but is also eco-friendly as you will avoid having to reboil the kettle should you get distracted. Variable Temperature Settings In October the energy price cap will be going down, but it is still high, and finances continue to be tight so understanding the cost to boil even the best kettles is more important than ever, to make some incredibly easy savings. Working out how much it costs to boil a kettle depends on a number of factors, including how much water you’re boiling and how powerful your kettle is. In fact, this Bosch energy efficient kettle provides you with four distinct temperature settings to choose from. This is ideal if you prefer your drinks a little more tepid than the usual, but still provides you with boiling hot temperatures for cooking. Temperature settings include 70, 80, 90 and 100 degrees Celsius. Do follow the manufacturer's instructions very carefully, as they vary as to how much water and powder to use.
