Alternatively, there are electric kettles that have temperature control. A temperature-controlled kettle allows you to set the desired temperature that you want the water to reach. This can be useful when you need the right temperature for specific cooking processes. Step 4: Pour the Boiling Water There are two main categories of kettles today – electric and stovetop. Understanding the differences is crucial because the boiling process varies slightly depending on the design. Electric Kettle Only fill and boil the kettle with as much water as you need. The most energy-saving kettles have a low minimum-fill line, and switch off swiftly after boiling. This kettle uses heat from an external source, for instance, your oven hob. This heat is passed through the conductive material of the kettle and thus heats the water. These appliances are traditional and typically take longer to heat water.

If you leave cold water in your kettle after use, minerals might build up. This can potentially result in bacteria and limescale. These things are primarily unhealthy for consumption, but the minerals could also damage your kettle. Never Overfill Your Kettle Descale your kettle regularly. If it's full of limescale, you use more energy to boil the same amount of water. Secondly, if you do not have a whistling tea kettle, you can usually identify that it has finished when it starts to steam. You will notice that a high quantity of steam escapes from the spout and thus can deduce that the water is boiled. Step 5: Pour the Hot Water With the electric kettle filled, you can now turn it on!
