Are people willingly missing the point of the OP? I'm sure that weecalf doesn't "need" to touch the body of a stainless steel kettle containing boiling water...but a hand or arm can accidentally touch it. (A non-metallic kettle doesn't feel nearly as hot - and I have one that is labelled "cool-touch"...it is dual-walled and came from Lidl).

Did you buy one that says it won't get hot on the outside?

This OP shows why manufacturers put glaring obvious warnings on things. e.g. watch out your coffee is hot.

Yes, you should have realised.

Mine gets hot on the outside but they have supplied it with a handle, genius!

the plastic type gets hot but not to burn you and easier to pour being tall and a side handle

You might be able to find a No Win No Fee solicitor prepared to take it on as a Blame and Claim case - it's quite the fashion these days for the Judiciary to overlook Common Sense.

I didn't realise a ceramic hob remained hot after you switch it off...... until I leaned on mine.
But, yeah, touching a boiling kettle is a bit daft.

Why do you need to touch the kettle other than the handle part?

Because the element is a fair way from the sides. And most do get fairly warm, especially the top.
