An electric kettle is perhaps one of the most frequently used items that we use in our kitchen. After all, it is really very convenient, unlike ordinary kettles: neither you put it on the stove, constantly light the stove, nor you run and check every minute whether the water is boiled or not. And, moreover, you do not need to wait so long – because the water in an electric teapot can boil in just three minutes!
But as it turned out, with an electric kettle you can get even more problems and hassle than with ordinary kettles. But you can get rid of all of them very quickly – if you choose and buy an electric kettle correctly from the very beginning. And we will gladly help you.
First, choose the material from which your future teapot will be made. After all, there are several of them:
– Heat-resistant glass allows you to preserve the taste of tea, because, unlike many other materials, it does not emit any substances when heated, which could affect the taste of both water and tea itself. But, in addition to dignity, heat-resistant glass has a drawback: it breaks very easily.
– Plastic – teapots made from it are much cheaper than teapots made from heat-resistant glass or metal. In addition, plastic teapots most often have very original designs, so you can choose a kettle for any interior of your kitchen.
– Metal is considered the most durable and durable material, so there is no doubt that the teapot made of metal will last a long time. But the surface of metal teapots heats up very quickly, moreover, they do not rarely leak.
Secondly, pay attention to the fact that the discs of electric teapots have a lack of very quickly rusty, so choose a kettle with a stainless metal disk.
An electric kettle should have a power of at least 1000 watts, if you do not want to wait for an eternity while the water boils. A kettle with such power can boil a liter of water in only 8 minutes, but if the power of the kettle is 2000 watts, then you will have to wait not 4, but even 3-3.5 minutes!
Choose a kettle with a large water liter so as not to drive it several times only to drink your whole family with tea. Optimal liters-1.5-2 liters.
And finally: the filter that every electric kettle has. It is necessary for the water to be cleaned of scale and various particles that it contains. The filter should be large and easily removed from the kettle – for washing.
