A kettle and a teapot are two different kitchen utensils used for heating and serving hot beverages. While both are designed to handle hot liquids, they serve different purposes and have distinct features.

​There are three main types of kettles: stovetop kettles, electric kettles, and camping kettles.

The traditional big kettle, also known as a stove top kettle, has held its place as a timeless classic in tea brewing for generations.
