I’ve just bought a stove stop kettle with a whistling spout, but the spout lever is metal and gets burning hot, so I have to wait for the kettle to cool down before opening the spout to pour out the water. Is there any way around this?
Use an oven mitt or replace it with an insulated lever. Or insulate it yourself.
How about using an Ov Glove or any other potholder..
Fuck you Daniel tell us what to do if a tea kettle boils dry instead of scolding us. Dick.
“While a traditional kettle can boil water at a higher temperature than an electric model, the electric kettle can boil water at a much faster rate.” So a “traditional” kettle can boil water to over 100C?
Yes, if you leave it on the stove, it will keep heating it up.
Just like every modern electric kettle can do where you can set it to a certain temperature. Which is super useful when preparing a drink e.g. green tea that doesn’t require boiling water. I don’t see any advantage the stove top kettle has over an electric one. It’s slower and doesn’t have features like holding temperature.
No traditional kettle can heat the WATER to over 100C unless the kettle is at air pressures equivalent to being *below* sea level. An exception would be if there is enough dissolved solute (e.g., huge amounts of salt or sugar) in the water. Then the boiling temperature can go up by half a degree perhaps, maybe more if you’re practically making a salt mud bath. All drinkable tap water boils right around 100.0 C at seal level. At higher altitudes, the water boils at an even lower temperature.
Is it safe to use a stainless tea kettle on a glass stove top?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t be, unless I’m missing something.
My new whistling tea kettle is not whistling any idea for me
