Does the kettle detach from the heating element for serving and cleaning?

No, it does not detach! I does make the hottest, strongest coffee of any other pot that I have owned.

if you are talking about the heating element, it is built in and does not detach. This is my second Presto, the other lasted many years. It stopped perking, however, I ordered a new cord for the old one and now it works fine. I highly recommend this product. Coffee is perfect, stays warm for a long time. However it does not have a timer, so be sure to unplug once coffee is made.

No, the heating element is not exposed. When the water comes to a boil, it shuts off automatically. I have always poured the water immediately and have not noticed if the kettle maintains heat for an extended period of time.

Yes, the water (I would not use any other liquid in this pot) does not come in contact with the heating element. Mine also has a metal tube up one side but I do not know what its function is.

Yes once the water has boiled it switches itself off. Also the kettle sits atop a corded plate that powers it; so you can lift the kettle to easily disconect it from the cord and base, but still be advised you can't place the kettle into water when cleaning it because it has electrical components on the bottom that must be kept dry. Also I read a review that the inside stainless steel rusts, that is most likely due to condensation so I suggest leaving the lid open when you are done with it to let the wet evaporate out the opened lid. I had this kettle for less than a year and so far no issues. Yes once the water has boiled it switches itself off.

No the heating element is not exposed. Read the reviews about the kettle and investigate well before you buy it. Mine broke during the warranty period and was leaking water. I sent it back.

Yes it is, and it lifts out, separate, for cleaning! I love this crock pot!

no the heating element with power cord is separate and the pot sits over the element when heating water.

No. Once the water comes to a boil, the tea kettle turns off. As far as needing to reheat the water.... this kettle is super fast. I am very happy with it.

No and this was a great purchase. The heating element has been making strange noises when first turned on for the last several months but I use my kettle heavily and it is still going strong. I would not hesitate buying another.

Cord doesn't detach but doesn't interfere with cleaning. Cannot immerse but opening is large enough 2 reach hand or sponge into it 2 clean. I love mine! I was concerned when I first received it & found the cord did not detach. I kept it anyway, started using it, & would not change 2 another. Its just so efficient & really is not different than a drip maker with a cord that doesn't detach. Hope this helps.

The inside of the kettle is flat. The heating element is in the bottom of the kettle and it rests upon the separate base which has the electric plug. After water is heated, you take the kettle off the base and then pour the hot water.

Yes, but the unit must be turned upside down to detach the bowl. However, the surface is so non-stick that usually the bowl can just be wiped out and rinsed with a wet paper towel.

Yes. The lid is held in up-right with a spring when opened. When the lid is open the spring is tight enough to keep it in up-right position. You can rotate the kettle, but the lid will not shut until you press it down. The lid is not intended to be easily removed, you will need to unscrew whole mechanism.

No, neither the pot handles nor the pan handles are detachable. However, the pot knobs are easily detachable, and the pan handles "nest" inside the next largest pan.

2pieces; the cord attaches to the back of the base. The kettle is cord free.

Gizelle; No, it does not detach! It doesn't make sense for cord to detach from the water bowl it is designed as to Keep water from freezing that's its function and Purpose! If you want to clean the Bowl Clean it with a Damp Cloth. Michael ROLLO
