Kettle having offset opening and recessed lid

摘要

A kettle for heating water or other liquid has an offset fill opening, e.g., to provide for easier filling of the kettle. A top portion of the kettle may include a relatively low thermal conductivity material to help reduce heat transfer through the top portion. A lid used to cover the fill opening may be recessed in the top portion of the kettle container so an upper end of the lid is flush with the top portion. The lid may have a gripping portion positioned below the upper surface of the top portion. The lid may have a bowl-shape with a gripping portion provided at an upper end of the bowl-shape.
