Your electric kettle is one of the most convenient appliances in your kitchen — fast, simple, and perfect for boiling water. But while it may be tempting to use it for more than just heating water, doing so could damage the appliance or even pose serious health risks. Here are five things you should NEVER put in your electric kettle.
1. Milk
It might seem like a good idea to make hot milk or a latte shortcut, but pouring milk into your kettle is a big mistake. Milk doesn’t evaporate like water and will scorch, stick, and spoil, leaving behind a burned smell and residue that’s difficult to clean. Worse, it can clog internal parts and create a breeding ground for bacteria.
2. Tea Leaves or Tea Bags
Although some kettles come with built-in infusers, most electric kettles are not designed for steeping tea directly inside. Loose tea or tea bags can clog the spout, burn onto the heating element, or leave behind oils and tannins that are hard to remove. Instead, boil plain water and pour it over your tea in a proper teapot or mug.
3. Anything Salty (e.g., instant noodles)
