A:Answernot on this kettle. on other kettles those features sometimes backfire as the temperature gauge gets plugged with hardness deposits and does not reheat the water correctly.
A:AnswerHaven't measured it, but the settings are for 208, 180, and 140 deg. F. All of those can cause burns. And after the heating has just finished the water is boiling (near 212F/100C) so until it drops to the set temperature it can cause serious burns. Handle with appropriate care. The water isn't pumped out fast enough to splash much, though. The dry boil feature is protective - so you don't overcook the machine or cause a fire with no water in it.
A:AnswerTake the kettle off the base. The water will stay hot for 15-20 minutes. But why wouldn't you boil the water before sundown and put the water in a thermos?
