Why do you need a kettle if the water can be heated in a pot (turk, pot)?

The kitchen interior is pretty standard: a fridge, stove, oven, kettle, microwave ... And do we really need a kettle?He has one function - to boil water, that's all. So maybe it's worth freeing up space on the table?

Advantages and disadvantages of this item

Yes, you can boil water in a saucepan, make coffee in a coffee maker or a Turk, and forget about the kettle.But you do not need to chop down, we will try to understand the issue from all sides.

pros

1. Modern models are powered by electricity and are able to turn off independently with sufficient heating. I think this is an important aspect of security! Sometimes you can just forget about boiling water: an important call from work, a childish prank or a banal inattention.
2. Fast boiling saves a lot of time., especially when it comes to morning gatherings for work, when traditionally every second is worth its weight in gold.
3. Quality models last a long time and look very aesthetically pleasing. becoming a decoration of the interior.
4. Hot water brought to the right temperature, will reveal a bouquet of aromas and flavors of good tea, allowing you to enjoy a minute of rest.

disadvantages

1. Cheap versions often break down and release harmful substances.adding a plastic flavor to the water, but this is a matter of choice.
2. High electricity consumption, although it is partially leveled by the speed of boiling.

Many people began to use coolers. They have a compartment with hot water, but here’s a paradox: in spite of convenience, even instant coffee acquires a vague flavor, not to mention tea, which should be brewed with water at a higher temperature.

Which teapot to choose?

In order not to get into a bad technique, you should remember the basic rules for choosing good things:

• A quality item is never cheaper than its counterparts! This is the law of the market! If the price is lower, then the manufacturer has saved something;
• give preference to branded models from reputable manufacturers. Reputable companies value their reputation and will not violate established safety standards;
• It is best to choose a stainless steel device, it does not enter into a chemical reaction with boiling water. But these kettles quickly fail. At the head of the charts are glass and ceramic models, they are recognized as environmentally friendly materials, although they are fragile. They must be treated very carefully and carefully.

Be able to distinguish models with stainless steel coating! Some craftsmen manage to mask the plastic case with a metal outer layer.

Unusual ideas, what else can a kettle be useful for?

And for a snack, I made some very interesting life hacking for advanced users.

1. Everything ingenious is simple - cook compotes right in the kettle!At the same time, we will not need ladles, just boil our favorite compote, pour it over the spout into the jug, and send the remaining fruit cake to the right place.
2. Pull the yarn through a boiling kettle for re-knitting to straighten the thread.
3. On the kettle you can put the banks for sterilization, but it is suitable for hostesses who have some blanks.
4. In boiling water it is good to handle the nipples for babies.
5. It is also very convenient to force cooking.. Large pots with cold water require a lot of time to “accelerate” the process, so it is worth boiling a full electric kettle of water and adding boiling water to the pan.

So we did not manage to get rid of the teapot, return it to its place and use it further. Who is on purpose, and who is already not! The decision is yours.
