What is the minimum amount of water you can heat up in this kettle?

At the minimum line there's approximately 12-13 oz. of water in the kettle. Let's call it 12 oz. because that's a more reasonable number.

Hi, Petal Power, it seems, when I measured just now, that 1 3/4 cups is needed to reach the minimum line on the kettle. Hope this helps.

The base of this kettle is 6.5" in diameter, 7.5 in height, capacity 0.5 liter minimum and 1 liter maximum. Hope that helps.

It depends on how much water is in it. I usually do a full kettle for brewing iced tea (actually a little over the "max" line) and it takes maybe 5 minutes for a full pot... not entirely sure since I have not timed it, but it doesn't seem long unless you're standing there watching and waiting (LOL).

You can set this kettle to go to any temperature you want. So I suppose you could set it for 105°. Good luck.

1500 watts. I would not recommend this kettle. Sometimes the auto shutoff does not work.

I believe this one is 1500 - a slow boiler. :-) Everything under 1kW would be rather slow to bring water to boil.

You can also high boil 7 to 10 minutes & low boil 5 minutes. If you boil too long the water diminishes.

Using either a tea kettle or a pot with lid on the stovetop, I've found that at the moment you can first hear the water/steam starting to make a sound inside the kettle or pot (kind of a whooshing), it should be about 180 degrees, give or take a few degrees. I've reproduced this result hundreds of times, confirmed each time with a thermometer. The key is to really listen for that first sound and immediately take it off the heat.Oh--I am a few hundred feet above sea level, in case that makes a difference!

Hi Deborah, as I said in my review the full kettle set to the highest temperature takes 6 minutes to come to a full boil. Lesser amounts of water or lower temperature settings will take a shorter time. I don't know if geographic location is an issue for you. I am located about in the middle of the United States.Judy

The heating element is not exposed to water (I assume that's the question?) I had feared that would make it heat more slowly than another kettle I have where the element is exposed.

1 cup is minimum. Suggest you buy a smaller cooker so it's less space in your kitchen. Keep the brand. It's good.

There really is no minimum. I've forgotten to fill it and been very disappointed to find I had only a half cup of (very hot) water. It still shuts off fine.

the kettle is very light,my best advice would be to not put more water in it than you need if weight is an issue, this will also shorten the boil time.

Don't do it! It will either wreck the heating element or wreck the mechanism that allows it to auto switch off once it's boiled and it will kill the kettle. The minimum fill is 0.75l , which is about 2 mugs worth. Although I complained it's higher than my old kettle it's not all that bad.

You can set the temperature from anywhere up to 212 degrees. However, since this kettle is expensive and it started leaking after a couple of years, I don't recommend buying it.

Not very big, maybe 6"-7" long, 3" wide and 3 " deep. I don't feel it's large enough, so I put a another pan of water in the kettle

This kettle will easily hold eight cups of water. It can hold 10, but that is right up to the top.
