Kettles are considered must-have tools in the kitchen. They are used for boiling water, brewing tea or coffee, sanitizing bottles and jars, and just about anything else you can think of. And most of them are regarded as being safer than stove kettles. Which, in fact, they are thanks to advanced features such as auto shutoff. However, some people believe there can be problems when their electric kettles contain plastic in them. Which makes me wonder:
Are there Any Problems With Plastic Kettles?
It’s not just the plastic in plastic kettles, but it is also the plastic in all household items. Over the past few years, more and more people have been avoiding household products that come in contact with their food. This is because BPA has been found in several different plastic sources and scientists know that this BPA can leak out of the plastic because of boiling water and steam. And no one wants this chemical in their cup of tea or bowl of instant soup.
Strix Group Plc (LON:KETL) manufactures and sells kettle safety controls and other components worldwide. The company offers thermostatic controls, cordless interfaces, water jugs, and filters.
