The Burn Machine

This was the only electric stainless steel kettle available at the store I went to. I wanted to get a stainless kettle instead of boiling my water in plastic, which I've recently decided to be paranoid about. This thing doesn't heat remarkably fast, the water level gauge on the side doesn't measure in workable incriments (litres, not cups). I like to know that I've poured in exactly 2 cups of water, not 1.5 liters!!! Anyway. It doesn't boil remarkably quickly, it doesn't make a dinging noise when the water has come to a boil, and when I poured the water out it splashed all over the top of my hand which was boiling water and it hurt. Also I brushed up against the unit when it was hot, also burning!! I think I burnt myself 4 times using it for the first time. It went immidiately back in the box and I'll be returning it tomorrow.
