A kettle is a water container used in cooking.
Usage
Water storage
A kettle can be filled with water from a water source, producing a kettle of water. To fill a kettle: Right-click on a water source and "Refill Kettle". It can hold the equivalent of almost 14 mugs of water. It is an alternative storage space for water to water bottles, and is automatically drunk by the player to satiate thirst. However, kettles are significantly heavier than standard water bottles.
A kettle can be used to purify tainted water, which is dirty water gained from unsanitary sources; such as a lake or rain. This is done by putting the kettle with tainted water over a heat source.
Cooking
A full kettle can be used to craft a hot cuppa or cold cuppa, depending on whether the kettle has been heated first.
