Electric kettle is a common tool for boiling water in our daily life. There are many types. Glass and stainless steel are the most common. So is electric kettle good for glass or stainless steel? Let's have a look at the material comparison!
Characteristics of glass and stainless steel for electric kettle
Advantages of glass materials
First of all, we should introduce the glass material. Its advantages are acid and alkali resistance, excellent corrosion resistance and good stability. In appearance, it also has a comparative advantage. Not only is the bottle smooth and bright, but also it looks very delicate, which is in line with the current popular aesthetic concept. What's rare is that you can see the boiling process.
Advantages of stainless steel electric kettle
The most obvious advantage of stainless steel electric kettle is its fast heating and high working efficiency. Generally 3-5 minutes to boil the water, but also to regulate different temperatures. Another advantage is good heat preservation. The quality of the thermostat used is the key part of the temperature control of the electric kettle, which can completely sterilize.

Safety comparison
The pure glass hot water bottle is certainly more reassuring than the stainless steel one, but the bottom of the high borosilicate glass hot water bottle is also stainless steel, and there is silica gel at the junction with the glass. So the comparison is almost the same. In addition, due to the aging of silica gel in the heating turntable for a long time, it is easy to cause water leakage, and it may be accompanied by leakage, which may bring personal safety risks.
As long as the material of stainless steel hot water bottle meets the requirements, it is also very safe. The high manganese steel reported in the news is not suitable for the use of drinking water bottles, so when purchasing stainless steel bottles, please buy brands with good reputation and special stores.
From the appearance
In appearance, the high borosilicate glass pot looks transparent. Compared with the stainless steel water pot, it looks better in appearance and looks very beautiful when making tea. Of course, it's just about people. In addition, the glass pot does not feel as much scale as stainless steel, so it is convenient to clean
In terms of durability
And the worst part of a glass kettle is that it's fragile. If you don't pay attention to it, you'll break it. The stainless steel water bottle is made of welded joints. The water leakage rate is smaller than that of glass water bottle, and the probability of damage with collision is much smaller than that of glass water bottle. Even if some small grooves are hit, it can still be used.
