Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Tayama Electric Cordless 1.2 Liter Stainless Steel Kettle
Customer Review: Totally satisfied
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this about 6 weeks ago and use it almost every day to make tea or dissolve soup base. It heats 5 cups of room temperature water to boiling in 6 minutes and 20-something seconds. The max capacity is about 5-1/2 cups (1.2 L). I don't know if it boils water any faster than a kettle on the stove, but it's nice that it shuts itself off when the water boils. The on/off switch is on the top of the handle. There's an indicator light on the left side (handle to your right) to show that it's on.
The interior is stainless steel with the small exception of the sight tube. The plastic sight tube marked in liters faces the inside of the handle. The location makes it a little awkward to read the sight tube. Two small plastic rivets visible inside are the openings to the site tube and hold the handle on, but I don't detect any trace of a plastic taste. Only the bottom rivet is ever immersed in water. The top rivet is above the maximum capacity of the pot. That rivet and the sight tube are the only plastic parts that make direct contact with boiling water.
The base design allows the pot to be set in any direction on the base. I noticed the heating element is a semi-circle along the bottom of the pot towards the spout. This allows the water to set up a convection current from the hot front to the "cooler" back. I think that helps the water heat faster.
The pot makes a moderate roaring sound for a few minutes as the water above the heating element boils and the bubbles collapse, but it's not annoying. I find it pleasant. The water in the pot makes a satisfying bubbling sound just before the pot quietly switches itself off.
The plastic lid latches shut with a gentle push, and it's easily released in a natural motion by pulling with your thumb on the release at the top of the handle. The lid cannot be tilted back far enough to stay open, which I consider a small inconvenience when filling the pot.
I think the product could be improved if the sight tube were relocated to the side above the indicator light, made of glass instead of plastic, the rivets holding the handle were also stainless steel, and the lid could stay open to make filling a little easier. Also, if I were left-handed, I would like an indicator light on the other side of the pot when the handle is to the left and the right side is facing me. Add those improvements, and it won't sell as inexpensively as it does. There's always a trade off.
It's a nice looking pot that does it's job well.
