Tipping kettle
What is a tipping kettle?
A tipping kettle is a kettle that features a useful cradle that the kettle sits in to help you pour out hot water safely.
You don't need to lift the kettle from the cradle once the water has boiled. Instead, the cradle allows you to simply tip the kettle forward to pour the water out.
Most models have an auto shut off with overheating protection, a water level indicator to help you avoid overfilling so it’s lightweight a stable non-slip base, an ergonomic handle, and smooth pour action.
A tipping kettle is useful if you have a weak grip, arm weakness, limited dexterity, hand tremor, fatigue, or pain.
