How fast does the Brentwood Glass Kettle boil?

It runs at 1,100 watts, so a full 1.7-liter fill takes several minutes. Smaller fills boil noticeably faster, but it is slower than 1,500-watt kettles.

Is the glass safe to put on the stove?

No. It is an electric kettle and only works on its power base. Never heat it on a burner.

Does it shut off by itself?

Yes. It switches off automatically at a boil and also has boil-dry and overheat protection.

Can I set a specific temperature for green tea?

No. It has one button and boils to a full boil only, so you will need to let the water cool for delicate teas.

What comes in the box?

The kettle, the 360-degree power base and an instruction manual. The jug lifts off the base for filling.

Is the inside plastic-free?

The body is glass with a concealed stainless heating element, and the manufacturer states the BPA-free parts keep the water free of plastic taste.
