Is there any difference between the boiling point of water in a kettle and the boiling point of water in a bucket?

assuming both containers are at the same elevation, there in fact can be a difference. Boiling point is defined as
"the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the environmental pressure surrounding the liquid"
If the kettle were sealed or at least mostly sealed, as steam began to spew from the kettle spout, if it in fact filled the inside with enough pressure (more steam stacks up than is able to escape the kettle) the boiling point would in fact rise slightly. This idea is similar to why a person who quickly opens a pressure cooker will deal with a vicious explosion as the pressure inside the pot equalizes with the pressure outside of it, therefore water and steam essentially explode outwards.
