Hot water is used in the kitchen for many purposes such as scalding meat, making a water bath in the oven, and brewing beverages like coffee and tea.
As such, every kitchen has some sort of device for boiling water.
A steel kettle is easily the most convenient piece of equipment to do this. All you have to do is take your steel kettle to the sink, fill it up to one inch below the rim, and slip on the lid. Then light your stove or switch on your hob, and place your kettle on it to boil. |
