Things to Consider Before You Buy

When looking for the best stove tea kettle, there are some important things to consider before buying a kettle. For example, the first thing is “volume capacity”

If your someone who has a large family or tends to have tea parties on a regular basis then you should choose a kettle with a large capacity this will save you a lot of time effort.

If you only drink 3 to 4 cups of tea a day then a kettle that holds 1.6 liters of water should be fine.

The next thing is a “whistle” Not all stove tea kettles have whistles and if your someone you like to do some housework while waiting for the kettle to boil then you want whistling kettle, to alert you when the water has reached boiling point.

You see! the thing with stove kettles, unlike electric kettles, is they will keep on boiling until the kettle is removed from the heat.

It’s very easy to get distracted or forget about your tea this is why it’s always a good idea to have a whistling stove kettle.

The next thing you should also consider is of course “safety features” with most kettles that are made in the last 5 five years already have these safety features.

These features can include “a heat-resistant handle” or “squeeze-and-pour lever” or even a “non-slip handle” features like this that has your safety in mind.

When choosing a kettle the dimensions are also very important you want the kettle to fit comfortably on the hob rings. If your kettle is to small the heat from the rings can actually damage the kettle and not only that but by the kettle fit perfectly on the hob rings this will heat up evenly.

Finally! “Cleaning the kettle” Even though you’re boiling water occasionally scale residue will start to built-up in your Kettle, so preferably you want to choose one that has a large opening so it’s easier to clean and scrub inside.

Other Important Factors To Consider:

• Volume Capacity
• Safety Features
• Kettles Dimensions
• Cleaning
• Whistle
