Water is essential to humans. In fact, our body is made up of 70% water, so we should drink ideally 8 glasses of water every day. Although we can get water from the tap, but they are not necessarily the safest the drink. So it is best to boil the water with a kettle.
One of the trending types of kettle to have these days is a glass kettle. But, what is so impressive about them? Well, for starters, they do not rust. So you can be sure to use one for quite some time. Also, unlike other materials, they do not leave weird tastes or odours in water even if left full for a while.
Glass kettle vs stainless steel kettle
Glass kettles and stainless steel kettles have their own pros and cons. Both are wonderful materials that actually work well together. But on their own, either one can be stronger than the other. For example, glass kettles look more stylish and are easier to clean as they are see-through, whereas stainless steel kettles are more durable.
It all comes down to one’s preferences and needs. Here, we list down some lovely glass kettles for you to pick.
As BPA is a concern that most of us are aware of, it is something we try to avoid when we get new kitchen appliances and tools. With the Culinary Obsession Glass Electric Kettle, BPA is no longer a problem.
Made with borosilicate glass and stainless steel, it provides good protection from any contact with plastic. It is also easy to clean thanks to its large lid and wide opening that a large hand can fit inside just fine.
Hard water can be too rich for some to consume. So it is better to get an appliance that can filter out excess minerals in water like the Russell Hobbs glass kettle with BRITA filter.
With the filter, the kettle is able to reduce metals, chlorine, and limescale. This results in better tasting drinks and a longer kettle life, which equate healthier water intake and cost-saving. There is also a cartridge replacement reminder so that you will always have fresh filtered water.
If you think plastic and heat is not a good combination, then you might just be happy with the COSORI electric kettle. This kettle is made entirely without plastic - only with borosilicate glass and stainless steel - even the lid.
When it is time to boil water, the blue LED indicator will light up, making a lovely view while the kettle does its job. Boiling only takes 3-7 minutes. After that, you can use the water to make coffee, oatmeal, pasta, and whatever you like. The kettle rotates 360 degrees, so measurement is precise and pouring is not an inconvenience.
