Stainless steel or glass kettle

[MissPingPong]

I've been boiling water in a pan for the last few weeks as old kettles has given up.

Is there a kettle out there that does not have any plastic parts that get heated up together with the boiling water?

Are glass ones any good? All stainless steel?

What to get? Please help!

In my experience glass ones look awful a few times after using, but that may just be our hard water.

i agree with PP we have a russell hobbs glass kettle and i am forever cleaning it as it shows every smudge so a stainless steel one is easier to keep looking clean on the outside

We've had a glass kettle for ages now. We've never cleaned it and there's no limescale build up. We live in a hard water area but use a filter for our tea and it really does make a difference.

a few weeks?! Is that not doing your head in? Just pop to the supermarket and buy a new kettle. Any kettle will do, none are built to last anymore unfortunately.

glass can break if you are clumsy.

If your water is remotely hard, don't buy a glass kettle - the scale will get on your nerves.

The Lakeland outlet on ebay has very well priced kettles

Maybe not glass then, what is the most energy efficient kettle?
