What do you call this thing?

Hello, wise forumers. I've been looking on the Bed Bath & Beyond and Target websites looking for a kitchen appliance. It's hard to locate it without knowing what it's called. It's like a big thermos-like thing that heats water to boiling and keeps it hot, with a big button at the top that dispenses water out of a spout. Does anyone know what the name of such an appliance would be? Thank ye kindly.

A Sunbeam HotShot, heats and dispenses hot water.

No. No. No. There are airpots that "heats water to boiling and keeps it hot, with a big button at the top that dispenses water out of a spout."

One is the Le Chef LC5300 5 Qt. Electric Hot Water Air Pot, 5 quart deluxe Hotpot.

There are also smaller sizes.


Try Amazon.com


p.s. They are sold at Jewish gift shops and book stores, as they are convenient for Sabbath use. [Water is brought to a boil before the Sabbath and stays hot and available throughout the day.]

- the HotShot does the same thing.


There are several other brands, too. But the description was for like a big thermos-like thing, which better fits the 5 quart Le Chef model.


p.s. Which has ten times the capacity of the one-pint HotShot.
