A Kettle is a metal stovetop kettle used to hold and boil water. It is one of the most useful water containers in a kitchen. A full kettle holds about as much as 14 mugs of water.
The kettle's main job is turning tainted water into safe drinking water. Filled from a lake or with rain water, it can be set on a heat source to boil the water clean. It is heavier than a water bottle, so it suits a base better than a backpack. Kettles are common on kitchen counters, in kitchenware stores and in office break rooms. The Chef is the best occupation for cooking. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Cooking
A kettle is filled with the Refill Kettle option at any spot that holds water. Placed on a lit stove, a fire or another heat source, it boils tainted water and makes it safe to drink. Characters drink from a filled kettle automatically when thirsty. It can also water plants on a farm.
The kettle is made of metal, so it belongs on a stove or a fire. Metal items in a microwave can start a fire.
Beyond the kitchen, a Kettle is the head of the Kettle Maul. The Make Kettle Maul recipe needs Maintenance level 4, a wrench, a metal drill, a handle, strips of cloth or leather, nuts and bolts, concrete and rope. A spare kettle can also be smelted in a furnace for an Iron Chunk or a Steel Chunk.

Living room and kitchen counters in houses hold a kettle about one time in five. Houseware stores and kitchenware shops carry them on their shelves just as often. Office break rooms, office cupboards and detective office counters are good places to check. Department storage and general store shelves also stock them. Diner, donut shop, crepe and restaurant kitchen counters turn one up now and then. Gigamart shelves hold them rarely.
