I have a beautiful nickel plated antique kettle with water in it that sits on my stove top on one of the burners. When I cook something, as soon as I take the pan off the burner and turn it off, the kettle goes on the hot eye to absorb heat. I started this years ago when the cats weren't always good about not hopping up on the counters or the stove, and I didn't want any singed critters. Now it's just habit.
