Abstract
This invention relates to an energy saving electric kettle. The energy saving electric kettle comprises a liquid container having a charging inlet, a discharge outlet and a heating element for heating the contents of the container. The container comprises an inner wall, an outer wall and an insulation layer therebetween. The insulation layer comprises an aerogel material. Preferably, the aerogel material is a glass fibre continuous filament silica aerogel which is particularly suitable for this purpose and is efficient in operation. After boiling, the kettle maintains the water at a higher temperature for longer and furthermore will significantly reduce the energy requirement on re-boiling of the kettle.
