Short answer

The Prestige 1.5L PMC 3.0 Plus Multi Kettle / Multi Cooker is our top pick: it is the largest here, with an idli stand, an egg rack, a steamer and auto shut-off. A multipurpose kettle boils water and also cooks small meals such as noodles, eggs and steamed snacks. People choosing one are deciding how much cooking they want from a single 600-watt pot. All five models below list 600 watts.

The AGARO Regency Multipurpose Kettle With Steamer (opens in a new tab) adds a separate steamer pot. The AGARO Esteem Electric Multipurpose Kettle 1.2L (opens in a new tab) lists three heating modes. Several safety details are not stated, so check each page before you buy.

How to choose

First, decide what you want to cook. Eggs and tea need only a rack. Idlis and momos need a steamer. Prestige lists an idli stand. Borosil mentions small idlis and momos with a steamer. AGARO's Regency lists a steaming pot. Pigeon describes steaming but lists no accessories.

Next, look at capacity. The range runs from 1.2 litres to 1.5 litres. A bigger pot holds more food, and every model draws the same 600 watts.

Then check heat control. Borosil lists an adjustable knob. AGARO's Regency lists variable control. AGARO's Esteem lists three modes. For kettles built around settings, see the best electric kettle with temperature control guide.

Check safety. Pigeon and Prestige state auto shut-off. Others do not state it, so read the details on the retailer page.

Cleaning and build deserve a look too. Borosil, Pigeon and AGARO all describe a glass lid, and AGARO and Borosil mention a wide mouth that helps with cleaning. Prestige says its stainless steel interior gives hygiene and no metallic aftertaste. Pigeon lists a 360-degree swivel base.

Also read the warranty terms. Borosil lists 1 year with on-site service. Pigeon lists 1 year covering manufacturing defects. AGARO lists 2 years on the Regency. Prestige lists 1 year. The AGARO Esteem page does not state one.

If you mainly boil water, our best electric kettle page may suit you better. To compare makers, open the best electric kettle brand guide. For materials, read the best stainless steel electric kettle and best glass electric kettle pages. The electric kettles hub lists all of them.
