Answer:

kettle

Explanation:

A pronoun is a word that is used to denote a noun to avoid the repetition of the noun. The noun instead of which the pronoun is used is said to be an antecedent.

In the given excerpt, 'kettle' is the noun. In every new sentence, the noun 'kettle' has been repeated. Instead of the repetition of the noun 'kettle', the pronoun 'it' can be used. For singular noun 'kettle', the pronoun 'it' will be used and for plural noun 'kettles', the pronoun 'they' will be used.
