My "not new" teapot isn't a teapot.

I stopped in Target today for a couple grocery items and happened to notice an electric teapot for $11 (originally, $30). It had an automatic shutoff, which is what attracted me. Lately, I've not had the spout cover down or the lid on tight enough and my teapot has heated dangerously long without that whistle to warn me.

The box was opened and resealed, hence the markdown. Likely a return ("not new," right?). I had it in my cart for about a minute when I realized I could simply heat my hot water in a Pyrex measuring cup in my microwave. No need to spend the $11. No extra appliance to junk up my countertop. Now, I just have to train myself to stop looking at the clearance endcaps at Target.
