Although using an electric kettle to boil water is very simple, many people still make mistakes that shorten the life of the device as well as harm human health. Typically, the following 5 mistakes are made by 9 out of 10 households.
1. Any type of electric kettle is fine
The main function of an electric kettle is to boil water. But in fact, when buying an electric kettle, you should choose kettles made of stainless steel.
Actually, stainless steel has many types. When buying an electric kettle, it is best to choose a kettle made of 304 stainless steel. This type of steel is resistant to corrosion and can withstand high temperatures. Buying an electric kettle made of this type of steel will ensure safer water after boiling.
2. Pour too much water into the electric kettle
Many people usually fill the electric kettle with water, but this actually poses many risks. The reason is that the water inside will overflow when boiling, and the water can also flow into the kettle base, causing a short circuit and damage.
3. Turn on the kettle first and then add water
When using an electric kettle, some people have the habit of turning on the kettle first and then using a cup or other container to scoop water into the electric kettle. This will damage the kettle, because if there is no water in the electric kettle, the kettle will be in a dry boiling state.
