The electric kettle, this essential appliance in our kitchens, can sometimes cause unsuspected problems if it is not well maintained. What if a simple tip could change everything?
Cleaning your electric kettle: an often neglected step
A poorly maintained kettle accumulates residues invisible to the naked eye, especially in the gaps of the base. These impurities can not only reduce the performance of the appliance, but also have an impact on your health.
The secret of the toothpick and alcohol
For a clean and effective base, dip a toothpick or toothpick in household alcohol or 70° alcohol. Gently clean the base, paying particular attention to the contact plates. This method removes residue, prevents ignition problems and prolongs the life of your kettle.
Boil water without wasting it
Boiling water may seem like a simple matter, but improper habits can increase energy consumption and cause unnecessary risks.
Always close the lid
A poorly closed lid slows down the boiling of water, prolonging the operating time and increasing energy consumption. This can even lead to overheating or even damage to the appliance.
