1. How fast do electric kettles boil water?

Electric kettles are highly efficient, typically boiling 1 to 2 litres of water in just 3 to 5 minutes thanks to their 1500W to 2200W heating component. This is significantly faster and more energy-efficient than using a stovetop, making it an ideal time-saver for tea, coffee, or meal prep.

Yes. Electric kettles, like the one from Bruhm have safety features built into the system. These include an auto shut-off feature, which shuts the kettle off when the water boils, and the boil-dry protection feature, which means the kettle turns off if there is no water in it.

When shopping for an electric kettle, prioritise models with at least 1500W of power for speed and essential safety features like auto shut-off and boil-dry protection. You should also consider the material – stainless steel or borosilicate glass is often preferred over plastic for durability and taste – along with a comfortable handle and a wide lid for easy cleaning.

It is advisable to use filtered water as the impurities are already removed. Using filtered water can also reduce limescale buildup (mineral deposits) inside your kettle, effectively extending the lifespan of your appliance.

It is strongly recommended to only use your kettle for water, as thicker liquids like milk or soup can scorch and burn onto the heating element, potentially ruining the appliance. Additionally, these liquids can foam over and clog the steam sensor, which may disable the critical auto shut-off safety feature.
