Item #: SCP-5083
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5083 must always be kept at a maximum temperature of 0o Celsius (32o Fahrenheit). If SCP-5083's temperature rises above this limit, activate emergency cool-down procedure ██, as described in file ████ in the SCP Foundation's database. If SCP-5083's temperature rises above 100o Celsius (212o Fahrenheit), activate emergency shutdown procedure ██, ans described in file ██████ in the SCP Foundation's database.
Description: SCP-5083 has the appearance, size, and shape of a standard Chantal stainless steel tea kettle made in 199█. It's only remarkable aesthetic trait is the apparent lack of branding or intelligible markings of any kind on SCP-5083's surface.
SCP-5083 was discovered in 199█ at 23██ ████ Rd. in Franklyn, ██, USA, after a house fire that destroyed the house at said address and three others on that block. It is believed to have been manufactured in a nearby factory owned by Chantal, but no records of the existence of any such factory have been found at the time of writing. The previous owner of SCP-5083 perished in the house fire immediately preceding SCP-5083's discovery.
SCP-5083 is constantly rising in temperature. When not sufficiently cooled, it is capable of melting through any material substance, regardless of normal chemical behavior. Theoretically, it could melt through an indeterminate amount of material, thus its keter classification. The melting of material that comes into physical contact with SCP-5083 doesn't seem to be connected to SCP-5083's temperature, because even at temperatures well below freezing, human flesh begins to bubble and liquefy immediately after initial contact.
A constant output of steam can be seen emerging from SCP-5083's spout, even when in temperatures below freezing. Precise measurements have yet to be made at the time of writing, but it is estimated that there are ten fluid ounces of boiling water inside SCP-5083 that hasn't lost any mass to evaporation in the 2█ years it has been boiling. Because of this, the steam exiting SCP-5083's spout can neither be accounted for nor explained.
Addendum: Further testing reveals that, while evaporation does not seem to affect the water supply inside SCP-5083, tilting it 90o, the spout facing down, caused water to pour out of the spout and immediately evaporating. The estimated water level is now 7.5 fluid ounces.
