This invention relates to an energy saving electric kettle. The energy saving electric kettle comprises a liquid container having a charging inlet 5, a discharge outlet 19 and a heating element 9 for heating the contents of the container. The container comprises an inner wall 11, an outer wall 13 and an insulation layer 15 therebetween. The insulation layer comprises an aerogel material. Preferably, the aerogel material is a glass fibre continuous filament silica aerogel which is particularly suitable for this purpose and is efficient in operation. After boiling, the kettle maintains the water at a higher temperature for longer and furthermore will significantly reduce the energy requirement on re-boiling of the kettle. A closure 19 may be provided for the discharge outlet. |
