Is that really the case? In fact, we should treat it differently that boiling water in an electric kettle will do harm to our health. If you buy a regular and safe electric kettle and the water you drink is qualified and hygienic, then drinking the water boiled in this electric kettle will not do any harm to your health. However, if you buy an inferior and unqualified electric kettle, there will be safety hazards in boiling water with this kettle. Of course, if the water you use is unqualified, it will also make you have abdominal pain and diarrhea, which will damage your health.
There are many kinds of stainless steel hot water kettles on the market now, so be careful not to buy inferior high manganese steel hot water kettles. High manganese steel is generally used in industry. Drinking water in this kettle for a long time will lead to heavy metal poisoning. Look for it when you buy it? GB9684 stainless steel? These words, but also to observe whether the bottle is printed? 304? With these two signs, it means that it is food-grade stainless steel, and it is no problem to use it to boil water.
People who often use stainless steel to boil water may know that a layer of white scale will appear on the inner wall of the electric kettle after it has been burned for a period of time. This is caused by the minerals in the water adhering to the inner wall of the kettle after the tap water is boiled. Scale mainly contains magnesium chloride, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate and other substances. If it is not cleaned in time, the efficiency of the electric kettle will be reduced. In order to ensure the safety of boiling water, we need to clean the scale in time.
When cleaning the scale on the inner wall of the kettle, be careful not to scrub it with steel balls, which will damage the inner wall of the kettle. Clean it with a soft cloth.
Here are some tips for cleaning the hot water kettle: 1, using egg shells skillfully.
Crush the eggshells, put them into a hot water kettle, add water to boil for 15 minutes, then shake the kettle a few times, then pour out all the broken eggpots and rinse them with clear water to remove the scale.
Step 2 use baking soda skillfully
Pour a spoonful of baking soda into the kettle, then add a little water, stir well and boil for a few minutes, so that the scale can be easily removed without wiping.
Step 3 use white vinegar skillfully
Pour one-tenth of the white vinegar into the kettle, then fill it with water, boil it and let it stand for one hour. Finally, wash it with a soft cloth, and the scale is easy to wash off.
In addition, when using the hot water kettle, we should pay attention to these safety details: don't fill the kettle too full when boiling water, so it will easily overflow when boiling. The more full the water is, the greater the risk of overflow, and it is easy to be scalded by boiling water. And if water overflows into the electrical socket, it will increase the risk of electric leakage.
Secondly, don't connect electricity to water. On the surface, it looks easy, but there are certain security risks, and the electric kettle has been heated, which also affects its service life.
Pay attention to always wipe the bottom of the pot with a dry cloth to keep it dry, so as to avoid potential safety hazards caused by accumulated water at the bottom of the pot.
