Boiling water in an electric kettle is simple, but many people still make mistakes that can shorten the life of the appliance and even harm human health. Here are the 5 most common mistakes made by 9 out of 10 households.
1. Choose any type of electric kettle
The main function of an electric kettle is to boil water, but not all the kettles are identical. When purchasing an electric kettle, it is important to choose the one made of stainless steel. In particular, 304 stainless steel kettles are the best choice, as this type of steel is corrosion resistant and can withstand high temperatures. The kettle is made of 304 stainless steel to ensure that water remains safe and clean after boiling.
2. Put too much water in the electric kettle
A lot of people fill their electric kotters to the brim, but it's risky. Boiling too much water can overflow it, which can spill over onto the base of the kettle. This may lead to a short circuit and damage to the kettle. Always be sure to follow the recommended water level indicated inside the kettle to avoid overflows.
