Buying Advice and Care Tips for Stovetop Kettles
- The ones on
this page offer flexibility in that they can be used on a range of heat
sources. Before buying, ensure that your chosen model is compatible with the heat source you will be using and remember to keep this in mind if you are buying one as a gift for someone else.
- The choice of appliance can enable the purchaser to add a touch of style and/or a splash colour
to an otherwise neutral looking kitchen environment. In addition to the
variety of designs and colour ways to select from, there is also a variety
of materials available. Glass stove top models are becoming
increasingly popular being stylish and easily blending with surrounding
decor.
- When making your choice, do look for one which has a whistle if you, or anyone else in your household, has a tendency to leave the kitchen or become distracted after switching on small appliances. The last thing you want is for it to boil dry!
- Do consider
the capacity you require and choose accordingly. Getting one that is too small can lead to a tendency to overfill and frustrations ensue if you buy a device which is inadequate for the needs of the household.
- In usage, be careful to choose a burner size which doesn’t overlap the base of the vessel. This can help with avoiding marking the sides of the kettle and also helps to keep the handle cool to touch.
- Particularly if you live in a high limescale area, you should consider emptying your appliance when not in use (particularly overnight). De-scale as necessary in accordance with manufacturer guidance.
- In all
instances, be sure to refer to individual manufacturer use and care
guidelines to prolong the life of your appliance.
