∙ 14y agoPlastic is a good insulator of heat, meaning heat can't flow through it very well. So a plastic handle on a kettle doesn't conduct heat through it and this means you don't get burnt when handling it.
My kettle is metal so i dont know what you are talking about. I hope that helped! if it didnt, what does help you is to let you know that most kettles are made of metal and not plastic. :)
Stainless steel tea kettles can be bought from many online websites and retailers. Some examples that stock this product include Macy's, Zappos, Casa, and Williams-Sonoma.
When a tea kettle whistles, it is because the liquid inside turns to steam and is forced by pressure through the small opening in the kettle lid. This phase change is a physical change, not a chemical one.
All I ever do is every now and then rinse out with some vinegar and water. This is just to remove hard water buildup though. The heat from the kettle will kill all germs.

The amount of electricity it would take to boil a kettle would be phenomenal, regardless of whether the kettle is made from metal or plastic. I suggest instead you try boiling the water inside the kettle first.
When a kettle whistles it is because steam from the boiling water inside is escaping through a whistle on the kettle.
Try shopzilla, if you are searching for an affordable tea kettle. They have great deals and the convenience of shopping online.
You are able to find them from $30 to $70 depending on the brand and quality. Target sells an Oster kettle for $34.99 whereas a Breville cordless kettle sells for $69.99.
you need to find a cleaner that is specificaly for stainless steel items. Pretty much any sort of stainless steel cleaner should be sufficient.
Yes, because the kettle will melt. but you can get plastic kettles that are safe to boil your water in. so when it shows signs of melting that means you have to replace it
How do I get rid of the taist I get from a new plastic kettle?
An electric kettle basically is a kitchenware piece, usually made of durable plastic or stainless steel and are powered by electricity. This allows someone to quickly heat water for hot drinks like tea or coffee. Once the water inside reaches the boiling point (212 degrees Fahrenheit), the kettle automatically deactivates itself to avoid the contents from boiling away and damaging the heating element. The older manual kettles are heated over a flame or electrical element but do no have any wiring. The boiling point is indicated by a whistle activated by the escaping steam, at which point the kettle should be removed from the heat source.
because the kettle is made of plastic
A kettle is designed to not burn you because some kettles have stainless steel and the steel dont evaporate like other kettles, so it makes you not burn yourself.
If you put heat under the kettle, the water eventually boils. If it's an electric kettle, you plug it in and switch on the electricity.
