A device that allows you to set the temperature to which the water will be heated — the
thermostat monitors the temperature and automatically turns off the heating when the desired value is reached. In fact, water heated in a kettle does not always need to be boiled: for example, for brewing some types of tea, the optimum temperature is about 80 °C, and for preparing baby food — 60 °C. Thermopot are most often equipped with a thermostat, but there are also classic electric kettles with such a function.
A device that displays the temperature of the water in the kettle. The presence of a
thermometer is useful if the water needs to be heated to a certain temperature. However, the thermometer does not automatically turn off the kettle, unlike a thermostat — this must be done manually. Also, the thermometer allows you to assess how much the heated water has cooled over time and whether it can be used without heating again.
