Using an electric kettle to boil water is simple, but many people still make mistakes that can shorten the device’s lifespan and even harm human health. Here are the 5 most common mistakes made by 9 out of 10 households.
1. Choosing Any Type of Electric Kettle
The main function of an electric kettle is to boil water, but not all kettles are the same. When buying an electric kettle, it’s important to choose one made of stainless steel. Specifically, kettles made of 304 stainless steel are the best option, as this type of steel is resistant to corrosion and can withstand high temperatures. A kettle made from 304 stainless steel ensures that the water remains safe and clean after boiling.
2. Pouring Too Much Water into the Electric Kettle
Many people fill their electric kettles to the brim, but this is risky. Boiling too much water can cause it to overflow, which can spill into the kettle’s base. This can lead to a short circuit and cause damage to the kettle. Always ensure you follow the recommended water level indicated inside the kettle to avoid overflow.
