    You won’t find an electric kettle without plastic as the power cable and some other shielding will be plastic at a minimum.

    If it’s just that you don’t want plastic “touching” the water then you’ll find a few models around.

    I don’t have any plastic in my cooking gear for camping, so that could be a good start.

      Unless you get a vintage one with a wooden handle, most have a rubberised or plastic handle.

        Toss the whistle. Annoying fucking things anyway.

    I suspect you’re not gonna get complete plastic free off the shelf down here - even a stovetop kettle has a plastic whistle and handle. If you want to support Australian companies, the breville glass / stainless steel ones have minimal plastic (mostly in the hinges, handle and some base moulding).

    Otherwise there’s the Saki Luna (entirely stainless steel), Bella do ceramics IIRC and last I saw Ascot were doing some exciting things with glass and steel…

    I found an all metal IKEA induction kettle in the opshop for $2. I think it’s the VATTENTÄT. E: mostly metal.

    e: There’s also just a simple saucepan with lid on the stove.

    There’s a nice breville one that only has plastic in the on switch. Body is glass and metal
