Recipe,

I have a basic Oster electric kettle. It has a light that displays when it's on and turns off automatically. No temp control. It's stainless steel. Just boils water and turns off. Easy open push button lid. Can't imagine it cost more than $30 to $40 about ten years ago. The closest thing to it these days is this model from Hamilton-Beach:



It's very basic. Wirecutter likes it, too.

Wirecutter likes this model form Cuisinart:



This is America's Test Kitchen's favorite:



This is another of their favorites:



In looking at all of the above, if I had to replace my Oster, I'd get the Hamilton-Beach. All I need is to boil water as necessary. No temp control. No gee-whiz features. I just want a kettle to make hot water and let me dispense it easily and safely.

Very helpful, thanks! I forgot about Wirecutter. I only have those same basic needs, too. Just boil and maybe hold a little. I am just gunshy because my last two have failed so quickly.
