Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide an electrical kettle which does not necessitate electrodes to detect water volume but can detect the water volume in a vessel by a simple structure. CONSTITUTION:When manipulating an operation switch 11, a motor 10 is driven by the signal to drive a motorized pump 7 and to pour the inside hot water through an outlet opening 9. The water temperature is detected from the signal of a thermal sensor 5 by a thermodetector 12. The signal is inputted into a temp.-rise detector 13 to measure a thermal variation in a unit time (DELTAtheta/DELTAt). The rising degree of temperature of the inside water in the vessel 2 is calculated to output it to an operation means 14 and an electric source voltage detector 15 is provided to detect the electric source voltage (V) supplied to the heater 4. This output is also transmitted to the operation means 14. The operation means 14 computes the water volume and the result is outputted a water volume indicator 16 to show the volume of the vessel 2.
