Electric Kettle

Electric tea kettles make it fast and convenient to heat things today. Aside from heating water, an electric teapot can also be used to prepare instant meals, warm bottles, prepare warm soup, cook oatmeal, boil an egg, cook rice, and more!

The main parts of an electric kettle

There are two important parts for an electric water kettle to produce an efficient output. They are the heating elements and the thermostat. When plugging in a hot water kettle to an output, a large amount of electric current passes through the cord. Then, the heating element converts electricity to heat. When the required temperature is attained, the thermostat switches off the power. The thermostat also plays the role of controlling the heating capacity of the heating element.

Different types of electric kettles

There are three types of electric kettles when it comes to kettles material. Plastic water kettles are lighter and cheaper than other types. Also, they have no risk of breaking when dropped. However, such kettles may cause a slight change in flavor and odors because the base of the kettle is made out of polypropylene materials. A stainless steel electric kettle is one of the best types of electric kettle because it is durable, stylish, and cost-effective. They could withstand high temperatures. Some stainless steel electric kettles have a double-walled design to avoid a scorching hot exterior, and some have a removable scale filter to avoid limescale buildup. Glass electric kettles have a transparent glass bowl, allowing people to check things inside the kettle. If there's a limescale buildup or stains, a thorough cleaning is required to maintain the pristine state.

When it comes to kettle's shape, most electric kettles are made in round shape. Gooseneck kettles are uniquely suited for a number of tea and coffee makers. They are considered one of the best kettles for tea and coffee because the spindly stemmed devices make it possible to offer precise and measured pouring. Electric gooseneck kettles feature more than a stylish spout; some of them are equipped with thermometers to ensure the time to brew.
