Our Editors Share the One Kitchen Essential They Can't Live Without

"I spent years without an electric tea kettle, and after spending only a month with my Haden Dorset 1.7-Liter Electric Kettle ($75), I'm not entirely sure how I lived without it. Boiling water is tedious — and microwaving feels slightly criminal, albeit understandable in a pinch — but the electric tea kettle takes about half the time and comes with an auto shutoff; perfect for an anxious soul like me. Bonus: it makes for great countertop decor." — Samantha Sasso, beauty editor
