    Is it possible that you have heavily chlorinated water or do soften your water with salt?

    My guess would be that there is iron in the water that is depositing in the kettle when boiling, not that the stainless steel is rusting. My parents place has this issue.

    Heavily chlorinated water, or acid salts in your (community) aquifer? Copper pipes leaching onto your bath and kitchen tubs and toilet? Only thing I can think of that would cause stainless steel to corrode like you described.

    Or as Mr deJong described, ureic acid?

    Stainless is not rust proof. Google it; lots of reasons for it to rust, including applying heat.

    Because I want a glass one and the glass one I have has a plastic top to make it whistle. I therefore don't use the top because of the plastic. My wife won't boil water for my tea if the device doesn't make a noise and or shut off. And if I make my own tea with the glass kettle, it will invariably live on the stovetop. That will aggravate my wife. Given what's up with the electric kettle, I'm not going to go get a stainless one. I suppose I could get an enameled one. See previous point about shit living on the stovetop. Also, the electric is sorta cool because it has multiple temperature set points for different beverages. Why can't they make an all glass electric kettle?

    A dedicated kettle is faster. If you boil water multiple times a day and have the counterspace, it's a nice thing to have. And it turns off when the water boils, so no jumping up when the kettle whistles.

    But doesn't your water just get cold? I mean, if you want to boil water,, don't you want to just use it when it boils? It's like 3 minutes depending on volume and altitude.

    More efficient, faster, auto shut off, don’t have a kettle on the stove top, fancy ones can control the water temp., don’t have a residual hot surface just for the tea kettle, etc

    The fancy ones will hold the temperature.

    Shit that annoys you

    a kettle is good if you don’t have a gas stove

    if the power goes out you use your camp stove




    I’m not arguing

    I’m just saying
    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    Red Wings are garbage compared to Thorogoods if we’re talking about moc toe work boots. I think it’s great that people are wearing them, hopefully they can keep production of their US made boots going

    I gots a gas stove still. It was handy the one time in 20 years that the power went out for more than a few minutes.

    The reason old fucks want an electric kettle that turns itself off when the water boils is because if we use a regular tea kettle we forget to turn the gas off and we burn the house down. That said, I use a tea kettle on the stove (on the rare occasions I drink tea--when I make Chinese food) and my wife does it in the microwave.

    I was trying to organize my shop and I must have 20 jigs and templates that I can't remember what they're for. I should throw them out since I never make the same thing twice but I can't bring myself to do it. And even the ones I know I'm sure I'll never use--another pencil post bed? Sliding dovetails? Nope.

    So I get ready to make dinner (szechuan chicken) and the kitchen light on a ceiling fan is flickering so I take it apart using a headlamp and the soldered connection to one of the sockets is badly corroded and charred. There are 2 more sockets that are probably as bad and the lights can't be aimed anymore--they just flop. I run over to HD to get another cheap ceiling fan but when I go to hang it the headlamp dies and there are no more AAA's in the house. Correction--there are 3 AAA's in the battery bin, but 2 of the 3 are dead. I did manage to get dinner cooked so I can't be too annoyed. And if anyone is interested, I had a coke, not tea.
