1. A electric kettle comprising a container body comprising electric heating means adapted to heat water contained in said container body, and comprising a base, configured to support said container body and to supply electric power at least to said electric heating means when said container body is supported by said base, said container body comprising a longitudinal extension axis and being able to rotate about said longitudinal extension axis, with respect to said base, further comprising means for detecting the angular movement of said container body with respect to said base, the extent to said angular movement detected by said means for detecting angular movement determining the degree of activation of said electric heating means necessary in order to bring said water to a desired temperature. 2. The electric kettle according to claim 1, further comprising at least one proximity sensor, adapted to determine the activation or shutdown of said electric heating means. 3. The electric kettle according to claim 1, further comprising light projection means configured to generate a light signal proximate to said at least one proximity sensor and visible on the external surface of said electric kettle. 4. The electric kettle according to claim 1, wherein said means for detecting angular movement comprise an encoder selected from the group consisting of: optical encoders, potentiometric encoders, capacitive encoders, inductive encoders and magnetic encoders. 5. The electric kettle according to claim 1, further comprising means for detecting the quantity of water contained in said container body. 6. The electric kettle according to claim 1, further comprising a wireless communication module configured to remotely connect a mobile device and remotely control the operation of said electric kettle. 7. The electric kettle according to claim 1, wherein said means for detecting angular movement are configured to detect the direction of rotation of said container body with respect to said base, a rotation in one direction determining an increase of the value of said desired temperature, rotation in an opposite direction determining a decrease of the value of said desired temperature. 8. The electric kettle according to claim 6, further comprising a display adapted to display the actual temperature of the water, or the desired temperature of the water, or the quantity of water present in said container body, or the status of said wireless communication module. 9. The electric kettle according to claim 1, wherein said means for detecting angular movement comprise an optical encoder comprise a photodiode associated with said base and reading code applied to a lower face of said container body, which faces said base. 10. The electric kettle according to claim 1, wherein the container body comprises an external supporting structure adapted to support a container element associated with said external supporting structure so that walls of said container element are substantially separated from walls of said external supporting structure. 11. A method for heating water, comprising the steps of: providing an electric kettle according to one or more of the preceding claim,extracting said container body from said base,introducing water into said container body,placing said container body on said base,rotating said container body about its own longitudinal extension axis with respect to said base in order to select the desired temperature of said water,activating said electric heating means by way of said proximity sensor in order to heat said water to said desired temperature.
