What to look for when choosing a glass teapot
To ensure that the purchase of a glass kettle goes quickly, and the owner is satisfied with the result, it is worth studying some parameters that will facilitate the choice of product and make further use of the new product comfortable.
Safety
Glass is a fragile material. Although the kettle is made from reinforced alloys, it still requires careful handling. On the other hand, it is a glass device that is connected to the electrical network. Therefore, it is also important to be careful when using it. Reliable glass models are equipped with protective functions, such as blocking the switch on if the kettle is empty or not completely closed.
All electric kettles have an option to automatically stop working after the water boils. Some manufacturers supplement glass instruments with whistles, beepers and other musical components.
Power
As with other electrical appliances, power is an important parameter, since performance depends on it. In the case of a kettle, the speed of heating and boiling water. If you buy a model with a low power level, you will have to wait longer for the water to reach the required temperature.
Also, the power must be within the permissible limits for the power line and not put a strong load on the old wiring, if any is installed in the apartment.
Lazh
To buy a kettle with enough water for the required number of people, you need to take into account its volume. If a person lives alone, there is no need to take dishes larger than a liter. A little more, 1.5-1.7 liters, is enough for a married couple. For a family of 4 people or a large group of tea lovers, it is recommended to buy teapots with a capacity of up to 2.5 liters.
Control
A few decades ago, an electric kettle had to perform 2 functions - heat water and turn itself off. But today it is a modern gadget that provides the ability to remotely control, adjust the water heating temperature (if you don’t need to boil it), and maintain the temperature at a given level. These options are convenient for preparing baby food, as well as for brewing certain types of teas that do not require boiling water.
Availability of screen
Kettles with advanced options have a screen on the body on which you can set or see the set parameters, or a system for indicating changes in the settings. This allows you to quickly achieve the desired result.
Additional options
The most famous of them is colored lighting. In a glass container, highlighting the bubbles of boiling water looks impressive. There are devices that have a built-in indication showing how much water is currently in the kettle.
Another addition is the presence of a tea strainer in the design. That is, after boiling, a certain amount of tea leaves is immediately brewed.You need to wait a little and pour the finished drink into the cup without using a teapot.
How much does it weigh
If you plan to use the glass appliance only in the kitchen and transfer it from the stand to the table, then it does not matter how much it weighs. This criterion depends on how many liters the model is designed for and what it is made of. The heaviest containers have a glass flask inside and a volume of 2 liters or more.
What weight the electric kettle will have must be taken into account if it will be used by a weakened elderly person or a child.
With metal base
Glass teapots, made in combination with a metal body, are the most durable and long-lasting. They are made from stainless alloys, which allows them to be used for more than 1 year. The ranking of the best from this category is presented below.
