Due to the great competition in the home appliance market, models are appearing on sale that can satisfy the most demanding customer. Modern technologies have made things not only convenient to use, but also attractive in appearance. If earlier in the teapot it was only possible to boil water, then the new models allow you to heat it to the required state and even make tea in them. Only a temperature-controlled kettle is capable of this, the features of which will be discussed later in the article.
The principle of operation of the device
The electric kettle does not require a gas stove for heating water. It works from the network and often helps busy people. But manufacturers are gradually improving the model. Not so long ago, a kettle with temperature control appeared on the market for such products. A special sensor is built into such a device, which reacts to the set heating mode and automatically turns off the equipment. This means that now you can not just boil water, but bring it to a certain state. Now there is no need to stand near the device and turn it off yourself if you do not need to wait for the water to boil.
The great advantage of such dummies is the ability to maintain water temperature in the required state. This is due to the fact that when the liquid cools, an automatic sensor is triggered and the device turns on again. In this case, human intervention and control is not required.
Benefits
An electric kettle with temperature control has several advantages. Consumers distinguish such:
- You can choose the mode of maintaining the temperature and not worry that the water will cool.
- Typically, such devices are powerful, but with proper use, they can save energy. Due to rapid boiling, resource consumption is reduced.
- A temperature-controlled kettle is usually large. Therefore, such a device allows you to arrange family tea parties and helps out a lot in a large work team.
- Similar products have a modern design.
In order for the kettle to function flawlessly and meet expectations, it is necessary to know the parameters of its selection.
Attention to the thermostat
Any temperature-controlled kettle operates on the basis of an integrated sensor. It is the presence of a thermostat that distinguishes these devices in a separate line of household appliances. Before going to the store, it’s useful to know which sensors exist:
- Thermostat stepless principle of action. In this case, the installed resistor is highly accurate and clearly responds to changes in temperature conditions.
- Step sensor. In this case, the resistor has a certain heating step, which is assigned to it at the factory. Therefore, the adjustment takes into account its capabilities.
Accordingly, the first option has great capabilities and functionality, but costs more. The second has a lower price, but it does not make it possible to establish the exact temperature (up to one degree). It is important to pay attention to the scale with the divisions. The difference with the readings can be from 5 to 10 degrees.
Additional functionality
The best temperature-controlled kettle is always equipped with additional features and protective functions. In order for the device to function smoothly throughout the entire period of operation, it is important to pay attention to the following parameters:
- Automatic shutdown not only when boiling, but also overheating, power outage, lack or lack of water, with the lid open.
- Protection against complete boiling.
- Clearly visible water level.
- Scale protection.
- The presence of a timer.
- Visual thermometer.
