Stainless steel kettle is a type of kettle available in the market today. As implicit from the name, the kettle is made with stainless steel.

Stainless steel kettles are available in two types: brushed and polished. Even though they are both made with steel, they differ greatly in their polishing. The brushed stainless steel kettle does not have a smooth and shiny finishing like polished type. This is because the brushing method is used in the finishing of the kettles. In the brushing method a fine grit sand paper is used to abrade the stainless steel used in making the kettle so that it will still have its metallic luster. The brushing also gives the kettle a pattern of tinny fine lines

Polished stainless steel kettle is fabricated using a different finishing method. Rather than using sand paper to abrade the stainless steel an abrasive is used to smoothen the surface of the stainless steel. This process of smoothing the surface of the metal used in making the kettle with abrasive is known as polishing. With this method a mirror finishing is obtained. The surface of a   polished kettle is very smooth and shinier than when the brushing method is applied in the making of the kettle. Though a polished kettle has a shinier and smoother surface than stainless kettles with brushed surfaces, scratches and wear can easier be repaired in brushed stainless kettle than in polished type
