A kettle does not boil water long enough to disinfect it. Why not put less
water in the kettle to begin with? If you do this regularly, you should
have
a fair idea of how much water you will need.

===============================
Just to be clear.....

I assume that you mean a kettle with an automatic switch which switches off
after a few seconds of boiling. Other non-automatic kettles can surely
boil for the 5 minute period mentioned by another poster.
