In many families it is customary to drink tea, having gathered together at the table. And if in
Formerly, the central place in this process was assigned to samovars, now their main function is performed by teapots. It can be an electric appliance or a kettle for a gas stove. In any case, it is worth approaching his choice responsibly and with a soul, so that subsequently the device brings you only joy and does not overshadow the mood with frequent breakdowns.
If you have a gas stove installed in your home, then buying an electric kettle in this case is impractical: it will consume a greater amount of energy, which will affect the meter readings, and therefore your money expenses. A kettle for a gas stove in this situation will help not only save money - it has a number of other advantages. For example, boiling water in it usually occurs faster. In addition, the appearance of a teapot heating over a fire evokes positive emotions, causing associations with the comfort and warmth of the hearth.
When choosing a kettle for a gas stove, first of all, decide how much boiled water you need. A family of 2-3 people will have enough volume of 2.7-2.8 liters, and if large companies often gather at your table, it makes sense to look at the large containers and choose a kettle with a volume of about 3.5-4 liters.
Another important parameter is the material from which the dishes are made. The kettle for a gas stove can be enameled, glass or made of stainless steel. Each material is interesting in its own way and has its pros and cons.
Stainless steel dishes always look concise and stylish. Such kettles are convenient to use, with proper use they last a long time.
Enameled teapots are very beloved by many housewives for their various colors. They can be matched to the style of the kitchen and become its decoration. With the help of a new kettle, you can easily refresh the look of the room, especially if other kitchen utensils in the same color scheme appear in the house along with it.
The third option is a glass kettle for a gas stove. Modern manufacturers have learned how to use special durable refractory glass. Such kettles are usually quite expensive. It is believed that they are optimally suited for boiling water: the material does not react with the liquid, which allows you to maintain the taste of water and maintains its purity. In addition, glass walls allow you to observe how boiling occurs, which makes the process of boiling particularly attractive.
When choosing a kettle, also pay attention to additional details. For example, whistles are very convenient to operate. Since they do not turn off independently after boiling water, like their modern electrical “counterparts”, the whistle signal will certainly remind you that the water has boiled and is ready for use. Also pay attention to the handle of the device, check its convenience and find out how resistant it is to high temperatures.
And, of course, make sure that you like the kettle and cause only positive emotions. After all, it is with him that you and your family will have to start every morning and end every day!
