The best way to show a kid how a kettle works might be to put hot water from the tap into a small saucepan and bring it to the boil while the child watches. Take care not to leave the child alone in the kitchen even for a second, and move the saucepan handle towards the back of the cooktop.

The child will be able to see the first tiny air-bubbles forming on the side of the pan and can watch as the bubbles become bigger and form more rapidly until the whole surface of the water is rolling because of all the big bubbles moving about in the heat.

Explain to the child, of course, never ever to try to look into the spout of a kettle as it boils; you'll need to tell them exactly the same thing is happening in there.

Use hot water from the tap rather than cold so the child doesn't have to wait ages for it to boil.

Another time you can explain why you use cold water to start (if you do) and how starting with cold water is better for making tea and coffee because less air is cooked out of it, so the drink tastes fresher.

How does a Crofton Electric Water Kettle work?

There is a heating element in the kettle. As the water boils, the inner temperature of the kettle rises. Once the boiling temperature is reached, a small thermostat is triggered which turns the kettle off, so as to not boil continually. This thermostat works optimally with the lid on the kettle fully closed, if the lid is not fully closed, it does not switch the kettle off as quickly.

How does convection work in a kettle?

In a kettle, convection works by heating water at the bottom of the kettle. As the water gets hot, it becomes less dense and rises to the top, displacing the cooler water. This creates a circular flow of water as hotter water rises and cooler water sinks, leading to even heating of the entire volume of water in the kettle.

How does an electric kettle work to heat water efficiently and quickly?

An electric kettle works by using a heating element to quickly heat water. When the kettle is turned on, electricity flows through the heating element, which generates heat. The heat is transferred to the water, causing it to heat up rapidly. The design of the kettle allows for efficient heat transfer, resulting in fast boiling times.
