Best Answer

Once the heat has been turned off the kettle, it will begin to lose heat. The rate of heat loss depends on the thickness of the kettle's walls, the amount of boiling water that was in the kettle before the heat was turned off, and the temperature of the room the kettle is stood in. When tea is traditionally brewed in teapots, a woolly knitted cover (known as a cosy - in the UK) was placed over the teapot to slow down the rate of heat loss.

Why would a plastic kettle stay hotter than a metel kettle?

How long something stays hot depends on its heat capacity. Heat capacity is a measure of the amount of energy required to change the temperature of an object.Water has a relatively large heat capacity per gram whereas metals have a low heat capacity. This means that water retains it heat but metals heat and cool quickly. We can take a metal tray from an oven and put it to cool, we can touch the tray soon afterwards but the roast that we put on the serving platter stays hot for a lot longer.The plastic in the kettle will cool depending on its heat capacity. Metal cools quickly due to its low heat capacity.
