Cuissential presents portable and space-saving kettle
Cuissential, a kitchenware manufacturer, has come out with a clever teakettle made almost entirely of silicone. At first glance, SlickBoil looks like any other kettle and brews five cups of tea. But when not in use, its silicone body is designed to collapse into the stainless steel base, shrinking to only 2,5 inches in height. Such compact shape makes it ideal for on-the-go outdoor brewing or small urban kitchens. According to the manufacturer, silicone was chosen as a safe, natural and sustainable material and as an alternative to potentially toxic rubbers and plastics. The kettle works with most sources of heat and retails for $35.
