Electric kettle (also known as electric kettle, kettle) is widely used, in addition to boiling water for tea, making coffee and other daily uses, it can also quickly heat water, used to cook various foods, such as boiling noodles, dumplings, vegetables, etc., very useful. As a widely used household appliance, the safety of electric kettles cannot be ignored. In fact, this seemingly harmless small household appliance has frequent safety accidents and even potential health risks. In particular, those with low-quality electric kettles use materials that can be harmful to humans, including potential carcinogens. As a home appliance practitioner, I have reviewed a variety of electric kettles on the market. Through this series of professional evaluations, a series of professional knowledge on the selection of electric kettles has been summarized.
Here are some of the products I recently reviewed:
1. Is an electric kettle useful?
In modern life, as an efficient and convenient kitchen appliance, the design and technology of electric kettle have evolved from the traditional electric kettle. The device uses a heating element embedded in the bottom to quickly heat the water to a boil, and its internal structure includes a sensitive steam temperature sensing component. The component is composed of bimetal sheets, when the temperature of water vapor reaches a certain level, it causes the deformation of bimetal sheets, thereby triggering the lever mechanism to realize the automatic power-off of the equipment, and the power-off state is non-reset, ensuring the safety of use. The electric kettle does not continue to consume electricity after the boiling task, which is not only user-friendly, but also energy efficient.
The electric kettle meets the market demand for fast hot water supply and has the function of preventing dry boiling.

The electric kettle can not only boil water, but also heat milk, make tea, boil noodles and other functions, allowing you to complete a variety of dietary preparations in a short time. Moreover, the one-button start design is simple and convenient to operate, allowing you to easily enjoy a modern lifestyle.
3. It is not easy to produce scale, less odor, and is healthier.
The traditional way of boiling water is easy to leave scale at the bottom of the kettle, which affects the water quality and taste, while the electric kettle is made of stainless steel, which is not easy to rust and keeps the water clean. Moreover, the inside of the electric kettle has a self-cleaning function, which can be cleaned regularly to avoid odors, so that you can drink healthier water.
4. The appearance is better and more exquisite.
The electric kettle has a sleek and beautiful design and is made from high-quality materials, which is not only practical, but also adds a modern touch to the kitchen. Whether it's on the kitchen countertop or the living room coffee table, it can add an elegant touch to the home space.
