A '''kettle''', sometimes called a '''tea kettle''' or '''teakettle''', is a type of [[Cookware and bakeware|pot]] specialized for [[boiling]] water, commonly with a ''lid'', ''spout'', and ''handle'', or a small electric [[kitchen appliance]] of similar shape that functions in a self-contained manner. Kettles can be heated either by placing on a [[stove]], or by their own internal electric [[heating element]] in the appliance versions. As indicated by its name, the kettle was and is often used as [[teaware]] to [[Tea preparation|brew tea]] or prepare a [[tisane]]. Some very modern versions do more than just boil water, and also make the tea and keep it warm.


== Etymology ==
'''Kettles''' are story mode mechanics in the {{Ss}}. They are used to enter and exit [[Octarian dome]]s in [[Octo Valley (location)|Octo Valley]] and [[Octo Canyon (location)|Octo Canyon]].
The word ''kettle'' originates from Old Norse ''ketill'' "[[cauldron]]". The Old English spelling was ''cetel'' with initial ''che-'' [tʃ] like 'cherry', Middle English (and dialectal) was ''chetel'', both come (together with German ''Kessel'' "cauldron") ultimately from Germanic ''*katilaz'', that was borrowed from Latin ''catillus'', diminutive form of ''catinus'' "deep vessel for serving or cooking food",<ref>T. F. Hoad, ''English Etymology'', Oxford University Press, 1993 ({{ISBN|0-19-283098-8}}). p. 252.</ref> which in various contexts is translated as "bowl", "deep dish", or "funnel".
== Stovetop kettles ==
[[File:Kettle.JPG|thumb|A [[stovetop]] kettle on a [[gas burner]]; this type, without a lid, is filled through the ''spout''.]]
A modern stovetop kettle is a metal vessel, with a flat bottom, used to heat water on a [[stovetop|stovetop or hob]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.madehow.com/Volume-7/Electric-Tea-Kettle.html#b |publisher=MadeHow.com |title=Electric Tea Kettle |access-date=30 July 2012}}</ref> They usually have a handle on top, a spout, and a lid. Some also have a steam [[whistle]] that indicates when the water has reached boiling point.


Kettles are typically made with [[stainless steel]], but can also be made from copper or other metals.
==Description==
Kettles are devices that appear similar to tea kettles. They are covered in a grate, meaning [[Inkling]]s can only enter them in squid form via {{button|ZL}}. They are located throughout the various zones in Octo Valley and Octo Canyon and allow players to enter [[Octarian dome]]s. {{Quote|We Octarians dwell in a world deep underground.

*Because the events of ''[[Splatoon]]'' take place long after the extinction of humanity, relics of human history are scattered around [[Inkopolis]]. Kettles are likely based on tea kettles used by humans thousands of years in the past.

*After a kettle's mission has been completed for the first time, stickers with squid designs in [[Agent 3]]'s [[Ink]] color will appear on it.
In countries with 200{{ndash}}240{{nbsp}}V mains electricity, electric kettles are commonly used to boil water without the necessity of a stove top. The [[heating element]] is typically fully enclosed, with a power rating of 2–3&nbsp;kW. This means that the current draw for an electric kettle is up to 13{{nbsp}}A, which is a sizeable proportion of the current available for many homes: the [[Fuse (electrical)|main fuse]] of most homes varies between 20 and 100 amps. In countries with 120&nbsp;V mains electricity twice as much current is drawn for the same power. In some of those countries electric kettles, while available, are less popular since most electric sockets are current limited to providing around 1.5&nbsp;kW and kettles heat much more slowly.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Spector|first1=Dina|title=Why Europeans use electric kettles but Americans don't|url=https://www.businessinsider.com.au/why-americans-dont-use-electric-kettles-stove-top-2015-12?r=UK&IR=T|access-date=20 September 2017|work=Business Insider|date=24 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Didovich|first1=Natalia|title=The common Kiwi kitchen essential Americans don't use|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/home-property/90275081/The-common-Kiwi-kitchen-essential-Americans-don-t-use|access-date=20 September 2017|work=Stuff|date=10 March 2017}}</ref>

In modern designs, once the water has reached boiling point, the kettle automatically deactivates, preventing the water from boiling away and damaging the heating element.<ref>{{cite web |title=HOW DOES THAT WORK - Kettle switch-off |url=https://www.ingenia.org.uk/ingenia/issue-80/how-does-that-work |website=Ingenia |access-date=3 February 2022}}</ref><ref name="mosi" /><ref name="mirror" /> A more upright design, the "jug"-style electrical kettle, can be more economical to use, since even one cup of water will keep the element covered.{{citation needed|date=September 2017}}

=== Development ===
''Kettle''
Electric kettles were introduced as an alternative to stovetop kettles in the latter part of the 19th century. In 1893 the [[Crompton Parkinson|Crompton and Co.]] firm in the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|United Kingdom]] started featuring electric kettles in their [[Trade literature|catalogue]]. However, these first electric kettles were quite primitive as the [[heating element]] couldn't be immersed in the water. Instead, a separate compartment underneath the water storage area in the kettle was used to house the electric heating element. The design was inefficient even relative to the conventional stove-top kettles of the time.

In 1902, the 'Archer' electric kettle made by Premier Electric Heaters in [[Birmingham]], England, was marketed as a luxury item. It had an element sealed in the base of the kettle (not exposed to water), and was one of the first kettles with a boil-safe device.<ref>{{Cite web|title='Archer' electric kettle, around 1902 {{!}} Science Museum Group Collection|url=https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co8408488/archer-electric-kettle-around-1902-electric-kettle|access-date=2021-11-27|website=collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk|language=en}}</ref>

In 1922, Leslie Large, an engineer working at [[Bulpitt & Sons]] of Birmingham, designed an element of wire wound around a core and sheathed in a metal tube. The element could be immersed directly into water which made the kettle much more efficient than stovetop kettles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.memorystore.org.uk/gadgets/kitchen/kettles.html|title=Electric Kettles|access-date=2013-06-24|work=The Memory Store|publisher=John Lewis Partnership|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131002044611/http://www.memorystore.org.uk/gadgets/kitchen/kettles.html|archive-date=2013-10-02|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.amdea.org.uk/industry-information/our-products/small-appliances/|title=Small Appliances|access-date=2013-06-24|publisher=The Association of Manufacturers of Domestic Appliances}}</ref>

In 1955, the newly founded British company [[Russell Hobbs]] brought out its stainless steel K1 model as the first fully automatic kettle.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Watson-Smyth|first1=Kate|title=The Secret History Of: The Russell Hobbs K2 kettle|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/property/interiors/the-secret-history-of-the-russell-hobbs-k2-kettle-2022217.html|access-date=20 September 2017|work=The Independent|date=8 July 2010}}</ref> A thermostat, heated through a pipe by the steam produced as the water comes to the boil, flexes, thereby cutting off the current. Notably as little steam is produced before boiling occurs, so the thermostat is set to activate well below 100C, and thus this simple design works well even at high altitude where the boiling point is significantly lower. The design has since been widely adopted by other manufacturers.<ref name="mirror">{{Cite news|url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/incoming/made-in-the-uk-the-life-changing-everyday-innovations-1294240|title=Made in the UK: The life-changing everyday innovations which put British genius on the map|first=Steve|last=Myall|date=2012-09-01|newspaper=[[Daily Mirror]] |__cpLocation=London}}</ref><ref name="mosi">{{cite web|url=http://www.mosi.org.uk/media/33871691/electrickettles.pdf |title=Electric Kettles |publisher=Museum of Science and Industry |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140401082637/http://mosi.org.uk/media/33871691/electrickettles.pdf |archive-date=2014-04-01 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Electric kettle {{!}} Science Museum Group Collection|url=https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co8641056/electric-kettle-kettle-vessel|access-date=2021-11-27|website=collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.ingenia.org.uk/ingenia/issue-80/how-does-that-work | title=Ingenia - HOW DOES THAT WORK - Kettle switch-off }}</ref>

A whistling kettle is a kettle fitted with a device that emits an audible [[whistle]] when the water in the kettle starts to boil. The action of [[steam]] passing through the device causes vibration, in turn creating the sound, known in physics as a [[tone hole]].<ref name="Henrywood2013">{{cite journal |last1=Henrywood |first1=R.

Once set, the automatic tea kettle brings the water to the specific temperature for preparing a given kind of tea, adds the tea to the water, and steeps the tea for the appropriate amount of time. Often they will make a beeping sound to alert the user when the tea is ready, and maintain the temperature of the beverage after preparation.

A kettle

Kettles are story mode mechanics in the Splatoon series. They are used to enter and exit Octarian domes in Octo Valley and Octo Canyon.

Description

Kettles are devices that appear similar to tea kettles. They are covered in a grate, meaning Inklings can only enter them in squid form via ZL. They are located throughout the various zones in Octo Valley and Octo Canyon and allow players to enter Octarian domes.

We Octarians dwell in a world deep underground. The individual caves in which we live are connected by a network of transport devices known as kettles. Wow... You learn something new every day!

Trivia

  • Because the events of Splatoon take place long after the extinction of humanity, relics of human history are scattered around Inkopolis. Kettles are likely based on tea kettles used by humans thousands of years in the past.
  • After a kettle's mission has been completed for the first time, stickers with squid designs in Agent 3's Ink color will appear on it.
  • In Splatoon and Splatoon 2, kettles are silver-colored, but in Alterna, kettles have been changed to a gold color.
