      They don’t build ‘em like they used to! But kettles have come a long way in the past two decades. For example, this one has some impressive tech

      Boiling temperature setting: Under the “stand by” state, press “TEMP °C” button to set the boiling temperature (The default boiling temperature is 100°C).

      It doesn’t just raise the temperature of water — it changes the boiling point of the water itself!

      • superforever on 07/08/2022 - 22:29

        the boiling point of the water itself!

        How can u change water boiling point?

        Just didn't boil it to 100c

        • FarKen on 07/08/2022 - 22:47

          100c at sea level. At higher altitude water boils at a lower temperatures. Eg. at ~1500m water boils at 95c.

            Yes understand but not how this kettle did it.

            Did it boil water to 90c and stopped or boil it to 100c and keep it at 90c for example?

            • tharlow on 07/08/2022 - 23:08

              @superforever: @FarKen explains it well. My guess is that this kettle has an ingenious flap under the spout that opens and closes. This allows the kettle to precisely regulate its internal pressure, and thereby alter the boiling point of the water held therein. It’s just this sort of mind-bogglingly complex solution to a simple problem that really makes one appreciate how far humanity has come

                        @tharlow: Even a $100 one, I think they only sense the temperature and stop, in that case it didn't "boil" the water. It may not safe with tape water in some country.

                      @superforever: Just incase anyone's not sure, it's just a joke. A $23 kettle doesn't have an in-built pressure regulator or even more important a vacuum pump (required to lower pressure/boiling point).

                      It's probably got an inbuilt thermostat so it stops the kettle when it hits 80,90 e.c.t with a standard switch at 100degrees in case that fails. Once it hits 80 if that's what you've set it to, it should turn off before it boils

                        Wondering even an expensive one do they have it?

                        At 80c or 90c can we still call it boiled even under lower pressure? Suppose 100c to kill gem

                        • lancesta on 09/08/2022 - 09:00

                          @superforever: I'd say 100% no they wouldn't, a kettle like that would cost $1000 or so. Assuming it's cost similar to a chamber vacuum and that's without the boiling element+safety concerns.

                          Why? Because there isn't any functional benifit I can think of having water boil at 90 degrees rather than just being at 90degrees for tea or whatever other domestic use you have it for. It boiling in itself isn't likely to kill the bacterial (as far as I know)

                          It's more the temperate like you said. Well to be technical it's actually often both temperate and time related with hotter meaning less time required (at least it's the case when cooking meats) so boiling to 100 degrees tends to do it pretty quick.

        I've heard you have to be careful in microwave as it can unevenly heat the milk.

        I guess you just have to thoroughly mix/shake after heating to ensure doesn't burn.

        • shutuptakemymoney101 on 07/08/2022 - 23:42

          Isn't that what the milk on the wrist test is for?

          • bargainshooter on 08/08/2022 - 08:21

            @shutuptakemymoney101: That's for milk that has been heated evenly throughout. Microwaved milk tends to continue heating after the microwave has stopped and the outer portion of milk could be cool to the touch, vs inside where it could be scalding.

        • slowmo on 08/08/2022 - 09:28

          this.

          heating milk in the microwave can result in scalding hot at the top of the cup but cold at the bottom.

          • shutuptakemymoney101 on 08/08/2022 - 17:58

            @slowmo: Fair enough, my son as a baby had microwaved milk which was then given a good shake and tested on the wrist, it was lukewarm at best - he survived and turns 12 tomorrow :-)

        Dedicated warmers are better (and second hand for like $10). Microwaves are risky because you have poor control over the temperature, and if you're using plastic bottles it is probably degrading them and leaching into the milk.

        • bargainshooter on 08/08/2022 - 08:23

          Plastic leaches into foods irrespective of how the foods were initially heated (but obviously heating in the plastic is worse).

    • Wolfenstein98k on 07/08/2022 - 23:22

      Nope, you want that around 40 and this only goes down to 75.

        • Wolfenstein98k on 08/08/2022 - 08:06

          Yes, boil the water you use for formula and let it cool down to 40.

          We boil water, then let it cool and store it in the fridge.

          When we need a bottle we pour from that boiled jug, then warm it up to 40 in the warmer.

          • RGV on 08/08/2022 - 10:03

            @Wolfenstein98k: how do you test the 40 degrees exactly ?

            • Wolfenstein98k on 08/08/2022 - 20:28

              @RGV: Sprinkle it on your wrist. If it feels cold or warm, it is.

              After a few uses you get a feel for the right setting/duration on the warmer.

      green tea is bitter at 100 degrees… so really the most common use case is if you drink lots of different tea… otherwise black tea or coffee are better at 95-100 degrees

      • NigelTufnel on 08/08/2022 - 09:18

        otherwise black tea or coffee are better at 95-100 degrees

        Sure if you like to scald your mouth… /s

        I presume you mean brewing though. I'd use it to top up my espresso for a long back with water at a drinkable temperature so I don't have to wait. Also, I think for french press is generally preferable to use around 90deg water. It can also be bitter with boiling water.

        Currently I just stick a milk thermometer in the kettle and turn it off when it gets to the right heat.

        • slowmo on 08/08/2022 - 09:21

          here's a tip if you don't like diluting long black with more water…. you know those whiskey stone/metal cubes? they work a treat.

          • NigelTufnel on 08/08/2022 - 09:33

            @slowmo: I mean… It's not really 'diluting' as much as it is turning an espresso into a long black.

            • slowmo on 08/08/2022 - 09:34

              @NigelTufnel: that's not what i meant, i am a long black drinker, so i'm fussy about the amount of hot water ratio to the shot. it does changes the taste if you added too much water.
              the tip is for when you already have a long black but it's way too hot to drink immediately.

      • Jared17 on 08/08/2022 - 16:52

    yeah nah - we got the clear glass one thanks - (although I did use a permanent felt pen to draw my preferred fill level marks) - nice blue light and blue bubbles when boiling

    tho' a tip for these - apparently they have some surface coating inside to break up bubbles to reduce noise at first - which wears off with time, when it becomes much noisier.

    • bobvegas on 08/08/2022 - 14:47

      apparently they have some surface coating inside to break up bubbles to reduce noise at first - which wears off with time, when it becomes much noisier.

      That's interesting, must be why my kettle makes these very loud exploding noises now, it's coating is worn off, so creates large bubbles and the louder noise

    • slowmo on 08/08/2022 - 15:04

      not sure if it's a coating, but i suspect it has a lot to do with nucleation sites… the more 'smooth' the surface is, the less bubbles.

      so if it's coating, it might be a kind of a hydrophobic coat? if not, it might be because of water quality. idk. just guessing. would be interested to find out more.
