Presto 06006 Kitchen Kettle Multi-Cooker/Steamer, Black

Product Information

Electric kettles are far more common today as they have made boiling water easier and more convenient. These appliances are incredibly easy to use and make it easy to get the correct temperature for processes like making tea and coffee or even boiling water to boil vegetables. Step 1: Plug the Electrical Outlet In Double layered body (Inner SS304, Outer Plastic) with 1.2L inner pot capacity and 0.92L steamer capacity You can now pour the boiling water and use it in whatever way you need. For example, you could pour it into a teapot or cup or pour it into a saucepan on your cooker hob. Take care when pouring the boiling water, and watch for the hot steam escaping from the kettle spout! Step 5: Empty Any Excess Water

Only fill and boil the kettle with as much water as you need. The most energy-saving kettles have a low minimum-fill line, and switch off swiftly after boiling. Many people place their electric kettle near their drinks making station or oven top to not carry the kettle too far from the sink/water source. Step 2: Fill the Electric Kettle With Water

Your traditional kettle may have a maximum and minimum fill line. If it does, always observe this and ensure you do not exceed either. Step 2: Place the Kettle on a Hob Secondly, if you do not have a whistling tea kettle, you can usually identify that it has finished when it starts to steam. You will notice that a high quantity of steam escapes from the spout and thus can deduce that the water is boiled. Step 5: Pour the Hot Water Don't leave the door open longer than necessary. Avoid putting warm food in your freezer as it makes it work harder – allow food to cool down first.

If you leave cold water in your kettle after use, minerals might build up. This can potentially result in bacteria and limescale. These things are primarily unhealthy for consumption, but the minerals could also damage your kettle. Never Overfill Your Kettle Don't hang wet clothes on radiators to dry – use a clothes horse instead – or hang them outside if you can. If you need to use a tumble dryer, wring out or spin dry your clothes before putting them in. Do not overfill your traditional kettle. If you add more water than required, the boiling process will take far longer. Also, it will mean that you use more gas/electrical energy depending on the type of hob you have. Descale your kettle regularly. If it's full of limescale, you use more energy to boil the same amount of water.For example, if you want to brew a cup of tea, try only to add enough water to that single cup. If you continually overfill your kettle, you waste water, which isn’t great for the environment. Secondly, you are also putting extra strain on the kettle thermostat and heating element. For optimum energy efficiency, aim to keep your fridge and freezer at least three quarters full. You could fill them with bottles of water to take up space. But don’t overfill – fridges and freezers work by circulating air around the compartments. If they're too full, air won’t be able to circulate, and the appliance will use more energy to keep cold.

The concealed heating element makes it easy to clean as you spin your hand inside easily while washing it with water Steamer Basket

We have mentioned this before, but it is advisable to empty your new tea kettle of water after each use. If you only use the right amount of water initially, you should waste virtually no water. This kettle uses heat from an external source, for instance, your oven hob. This heat is passed through the conductive material of the kettle and thus heats the water. These appliances are traditional and typically take longer to heat water. Firstly, a whistling kettle will provide a relatively high-pitched whistling noise when the water is boiling. This whistling sound is a brilliant thing to hear, and the whistle of a kettle is often associated with traditional tea making.
