The kettle is actually made of stainless steel and has a plastic handle and lid. For the price you can not expect a double hull, so the highly conductive stainless steel is as hot as the water in it, but there is then the ergonomic handle, which is not even warm. Sure, the device is probably not ideal for families with small children, but every person with a little life experience can not actually burn on the cooker. Apart from the 100 ° C usually do not cause skin burn from brief contact. Otherwise, the cooker has a really attractive design and the water is very hot. The spout is convenient and accurate. The cooker is very robust by the stainless steel body and even after several weeks use I can hardly recognize signs of wear. So overall very good performance with very good quality and good price. Full marks.
