The electric kettle is a small household appliance commonly used in our lives, and it only takes a few minutes to boil the water.
However, there are a lot of things to pay attention to when using an electric kettle, and if you use it incorrectly, it will not only affect the service life of the electric kettle, but also may cause harm to our body.
In this issue, let's take a look at the correct way to use an electric kettle, boiling water with an electric kettle, 9 mistakes in 10 families, many people don't understand, tell your family the sooner the better!
Excessive boiling of water
No matter how good the electric kettle is at home, it has a water quantity mark inside.
As everyone knows, your approach is not right, the amount of water we put in must be at the water level of the inner wall, if it directly exceeds the water line, there will be safety problems.
For example, when the electric kettle is boiled, the water will overflow quickly, and it will not be good to enter the heating base along the kettle, and there may be a risk of short circuit or leakage, so don't take it seriously.
The kettle boiling time is relatively fast, you don't have to be in such a hurry, if you use a lot of water, it takes a little time to boil out an extra pot of water.
The material of the kettle cannot be ignored
When you choose an electric kettle, the material problem cannot be ignored, for the sake of health, it is recommended to choose a good material.
This is the case with the kettle I bought before, because the cheap choice is of poor quality, and the taste is not right when I drink the water after boiling it, and then I found out after checking the Internet that the inferior stainless steel kettle may produce heavy metals.
These ingredients will be directly combined with boiling water, which can cause serious harm to our body.
Especially for families with children at home, whether they buy a kettle online or offline, they must look for the material of 304 food-grade stainless steel, or 316 medical-grade.
If there is no logo built-in, we don't want to buy, it may be a poor quality kettle,
No matter what we buy, we can't have the psychology of taking advantage.
Wash the limescale regularly
I believe that everyone has found similar problems when using the electric kettle, due to frequent use, there will be a lot of stubborn scale and stains on the inner wall, these dirt is very stubborn, if you don't scrub it, you can't clean it at all.
And because the electric kettle is relatively deep, the traditional cleaning method can not have any effect at all.
In this regard, we need to learn the correct way to clean the electric kettle, if you ignore it, these limescale will produce a lot of harmful ingredients, which can threaten the health of the body.
Cleaning water stains in an electric kettle is very simple and does not require you to spend time and effort brushing it.
We only need to prepare white vinegar and citric acid, pour it evenly into the kettle, add an appropriate amount of water to boil, and wait for about 15 minutes, and the water stains in the electric kettle will slowly be decomposed.
Wipe the base of the kettle dry when you run out
In my life, I have found that many people just fill it with water and start boiling it when they use the electric kettle, thus ignoring the base!
Under normal circumstances, we need to clean the base before boiling water every time, this inconspicuous action is very important.
Because of the frequent use of the kettle, you will obviously see that there will be water stains or dirt residue on the base, if it is not clean, use it directly, which is a certain safety hazard.
Therefore, before each boiling water, we need to clean the base simply, and it is better to put it away after use, rather than plugging it into the socket all the time, which will also continue to consume electricity, but don't be lazy.
The order in which the kettle is used
They think that this can be preheated in advance, the dirt in the kettle is dried, and the water quality will be healthier, in fact, this practice is not right, if you start to power on without adding water, there will be dry boiling inside,
In the long run, you will find that the thermal efficiency of the kettle will gradually deteriorate, and sometimes it will release harmful components.
Under normal circumstances, we always connect the water first, and then turn on the electricity to boil the water, which is the right thing to do.
Write at the end:
I really didn't expect that the small electric kettle is so particular about the use, and I have increased my knowledge after reading it.
