My Burnt Tea Kettle

This is what you get when you do not think things through...I put the kettle on to boil some water for my tea..usually I use the microwave and do not know why I did it differently...I did not put the whistle part done so I never heard the pot..I was watching a funny Christmas show, Christmas in Connecticut and was so involved in it and knitting..till the smoke alarm went off...not sure how long it was burning..but had to be some time...I just love this kettle and the NEX base had only one left..so now will try to find another one like it..I see a lot of enamel ones and had one before and do not like them..so have a safe holiday!! hugs, Lorraine
