The development of electric kettle has been improving constantly in appearance, in addition to continuous improvement of functions. From the former round flat, in the cylindrical appearance, to the column type appearance, from ordinary stainless steel to wire drawing material, and plastic material, the beautiful appearance of electric kettle is also decorating our. Follow the following to learn about the selection of electric kettle and four unique techniques for descaling.
Guide to choosing electric kettle
1. It depends on the material, although the plastic kettle is not a problem in theory. However, water will have a smell after long-term storage, and there are many additives in the plastic, to some extent, it is not as safe as stainless steel.
2. According to their own situation and actual needs, generally 2-3 families can choose 1, 2 L ~ 1, 5 L electric kettle; 4-5 people can choose 1, 8 L ~ 2, 0 l electric kettle.
3. Carefully check the mark and description of the product, as well as the performance and parameters of the product, such as the enterprise name, address, specification (such as capacity), model, trademark, voltage parameters, power parameters, power supply nature, etc.; there should be warning words to prevent misuse and detailed usage methods.
4. Look at the appearance of the electric kettle. The quality of the products with thick plastic or stainless steel shell and smooth, glossy and beautiful appearance is relatively better. On the contrary, if the plastic part is obviously rough and uneven, and there is sound inside when shaking, it may be the product with poor technology and poor quality. In addition, the electric kettle is an electrical appliance for water injection, so special attention should be paid to its sealing condition to see if there is leakage and leakage. If it is an electric kettle with a heating tube inside, pay attention to whether the heater and the pot body are installed firmly.
5. Choose heat preservation electric kettle and fast electric kettle with temperature control function. Some new electric kettle generally have temperature control function. After the water boils, it will automatically power off, which can effectively prevent dry burning due to unattended and avoid various accidents.
6. In the purchase of electric kettle, you can add appropriate amount of water and electrify it. Some products with high nominal power will heat up quickly. Consumers need to pay attention to whether the power consumption at home can meet the requirements. Products with temperature control function should be automatically cut off after the water is boiled, and consumers can choose according to their needs.
7. When purchasing electric kettle, consumers must check whether the electric kettle purchased has "CCC" certification mark.
8. When choosing an electric kettle, you should listen to the public praise of the users around you. Electric kettle, a small household electrical appliance with low technological content, does not have to be superstitious about some big brands. Although the appearance quality inspection of large brands is relatively strict, large brands have high advertising investment, and the corresponding product prices will be higher.
9. If there are old people and children at home, it is recommended to use the heat preservation electric kettle. This kind of kettle has special anti scalding, anti dumping and overflow design to protect the elderly and children.
Four unique skills of electric kettle to remove scale
How to remove scale? Based on years of experience in product research and development, several common and effective methods for scale removal are introduced.
1. Scale removal with vinegar
This method is the simplest and most practical method. We all know that the main component of scale is carbonate such as calcium carbonate. Acetic acid in vinegar will react with it to produce minerals and carbon dioxide gas dissolved in water. Generally, supermarkets can buy white vinegar and put it into 10% of the scale of water jug, Then fill with water, boil for about an hour, then brush and wash it, vinegar can also be used, but the effect of mature vinegar is not as good as white vinegar.
2. Descaling of potato in electric kettle
In xinnei, put more than half a kettle of yam, fill it with water, cook the yam, and then boil water, so that there will be no water and scale. But we should pay attention to the inner wall of the pot after boiling potato, otherwise it will lose the function of descaling. For the old kettle which has been full of scale, the original scale will gradually fall off after being boiled once or twice with the above method, and it can prevent the scale from accumulating again.
3. Scale removal with sodium bicarbonate
Generally, the heating plate of electric kettle is made of aluminum. When the electric kettle is boiling water, it is easy to form scale. Generally, we can put 1 teaspoon of baking soda and boil for a few minutes to remove the scale. Or can also pour into the concentration of 1% of bicarbonate water about 500 grams, gently shake rinse, scale can be removed.
4. Boiling eggs to remove scale
Generally, the scale of an electric kettle is hard to remove after being used for a long time. If you use it to cook the eggs twice, you will get the ideal effect. Break the two eggshells slightly, put them into the bottle, and then put them into a half pot of water. Stir them with a blender or spoon, and then boil them. Place them for about half an hour. Pour out the egg shells and rinse them with water twice.
Tips for using electric kettle
Electric kettle is mostly heated by heating chassis. The electric chassis is welded with the bottom of the pot. The bottom side of the pot is located in the pot, while the heating chassis and its conductive terminal are placed outside the pot. The inside and outside are mostly connected by bolts. The sealing and leakage are realized by the rubber ring between the electric heating tube and the pot body. Although this kind of sealing rubber ring has the high temperature resistance performance above 100 ℃, but because the electric kettle works in the high temperature state and has been used for a long time, the rubber ring will still be aged and lose its elasticity, resulting in water leakage in the kettle, causing carbonization, short circuit, metal melting of pot body and fuse fuse fuse, etc. Users must carefully check whether there is pot water leakage around the bakelite socket after each water injection and before power on.
When the fastening bolt of power line wire is loose, it is necessary to tighten the bolt and press the rubber ring to prevent leakage; when the sealing rubber ring loses its elasticity due to aging, a new high temperature resistant sealing rubber ring shall be replaced immediately to ensure safe use.
