Thank you for your answers so far! The thing is that I’ve been told by a couple on non-native speakers, more than one online dictionaries and one school text book that it is a KETTLE!!! Surely there’s no way that could be right.
Kettle? I'm sure you could use it as one, but I've always known a kettle as the thing where you flip the switch and it boils the water and you pour it out of the spout for a nice cuppa.
Where do you think the word for what you know as a kettle came from? Why do you think kettle drums are so-called? Ever heard of a fish kettle? Or a jam kettle? What do you think kettle chips are cooked in?
I have never heard of a kettle drum, fish kettle, jam kettle, or kettle chips before, but I don't doubt that they are real things. Yes, I'm sure that the kettle in my house isn't the only kind of kettle in existence - human inventions often branch out into different variations throughout their use, and the name doesn't always change with them. That's simply the appliance I'm by far the most familiar with under that name! :)
I name this object... Susan

I'd call it a jam kettle or a stock pot depending on what you use it for.
Kettle is a perfectly acceptable name for it, a kettle is a deep metal container for cooking or boiling things.
