I was surprised when I saw a friend cooking delicious food using an electric kettle, because doing so is very unsafe and may cause danger.

When you buy an electric kettle, you should actually read the instructions. Most electric kettles should be marked that they can only be used for boiling water and cannot be used for cooking or other food and beverages. Maybe my friends didn't pay attention at that time and just took this.

The electric kettle is used as an electric pot.

It is true that some pots can be used to make tea. For example, the health-preserving pot can be used to make chrysanthemum tea or even health-preserving soup and porridge. However, most of our families do not use this kind of pot.

It's just the most common kettle.

As for why you can’t use an electric kettle to cook other things, I will explain it to you next.

First: It is difficult to clean. The opening of the electric kettle is very small, and it may be difficult to put your hand in. If you cook food in it, such as boiled eggs, there will be a fishy smell after cooking, and there may also be cracks in the eggs.

The egg liquid that flows out is difficult to clean and will leave a fishy smell when you boil water for drinking next time.

Second: The power cannot be cut off. Everyone knows that the boiling temperature of water is 100 degrees Celsius. After reaching this temperature, the basic kettle will automatically cut off the power. This is a protection mechanism to prevent the electric kettle from boiling continuously and causing dry boiling.

But not all liquids boil at this temperature. For example, milk boils at low temperature. After the milk boils, it does not reach 100 degrees Celsius. If you use an electric kettle, the power will not be cut off. It is easy to keep boiling.

Causes milk to spill, which is why it's dangerous.

This is also the case with some other beverages and tea. The boiling temperature is not fixed and may boil at a low temperature or at an ultra-high temperature. However, the electric kettle is only designed for boiling water. Other foods and beverages are not suitable for the work of the electric kettle at all.

principle.

Third: The working time is short. The working time of the electric kettle is the time it takes to boil water. It only takes a few minutes. The power in these few minutes is very high, but fortunately, the time is short, and there will be no problems with the electric kettle.

Sometimes the wire may become hot after boiling water several times in a row, but a few minutes of cooking is not enough. For example, it takes more than half an hour to cook dumplings and porridge. The electric kettle itself cannot work continuously like this.

If you insist on using it like this for a long time, the electric kettle may break down soon.
