How to choose the perfect electric kettle. 3-step guide.

 

An electric kettle is one of those devices that seem to be almost indispensable in every kitchen. It makes it easier to prepare tea, coffee, soup or pasta, saving valuable time. However, choosing the right kettle may turn out to be more difficult than it seems. It is worth considering a few key issues before making a decision. In this guide, we will present three quick steps that will help you choose the perfect electric kettle.

Step 1: Capacity and type of heater

The first step in choosing the perfect electric kettle is to determine its capacity and type. Here are some important aspects to consider:

  • Kettle capacity: How many people will the kettle serve? If you live alone or only need a kettle to make tea or coffee for yourself, a small 0.5-1 liter kettle may be enough. However, if you often host family and friends or need more hot water for cooking, consider purchasing a kettle with a larger capacity, e.g. 1.7 liters.
  • Type of kettle: Electric kettles can be divided into those that have a heating element hidden in the bottom or outside. Kettles with a hidden heater are easier to clean but more difficult to repair in the event of a breakdown.

Step 2: Cooking power and speed

Another important aspect is the power of the kettle and its ability to quickly boil water. Here are some tips to help you make the right choice:

  • Kettle power: How quickly do you need to boil water? If you care about time, choose a kettle with a higher power, e.g. 1500-2200 watts. Such a kettle will boil water faster than those with lower power.
  • Cooking speed: Check the water boiling time. Some kettles are much faster than others. The time it takes to boil water can be important, especially if you are a busy person.

Step 3: Additional features and design

Last but not least is to consider additional features and design of the kettle. Here are some factors that may influence your choice:

  • Temperature control: If you prepare different types of tea or coffee, it is worth considering a kettle with temperature control, which will allow you to adjust the water temperature to your needs.
  • Auto Power Off: The Auto Power Off feature is useful because it protects against overheating and saves energy. We recommend choosing a kettle with this function.
  • Water level indicator: It is worth choosing a kettle with a clear water level indicator to easily control the amount of water.
  • Material and color: Choose a kettle that matches your kitchen in terms of color and material. Kettles come in a variety of styles, from classic steel to modern glass.
  • Handle and convenient pouring: Check whether the kettle's handle is comfortable and ergonomic, and whether the kettle allows easy pouring of water.

To sum up, choosing the perfect electric kettle can be easier than it seems if we take the above steps into account and consider our individual needs. After carefully considering the capacity, type, power, cooking speed, additional functions and design, we will be able to enjoy our favorite tea or coffee in a simple and convenient way.
