Nowadays, many people should have electric kettles at home. Electric kettles can boil water, remove bacteria in the water, and make our drinking water safer.
However, electric kettles are also more prone to failure and will break if they are not careful. Many people will directly discard the broken electric kettle.
But in fact, broken electric kettle has a lot of uses. Don’t throw away broken electric kettle again in the future.
1. Planting bean sprouts
Bean sprouts are vegetables that many people like to eat, and bean sprouts are actually the rhizomes that grow after soybeans sprouts. So as long as there are soybeans at home, we can also grow bean sprouts at home.
First, clean the unused electric kettle, then put the soybeans into the electric kettle, then pour clean water into the kettle, soak all the soybeans in the clean water.
Then put the electric kettle in a cool place and let the soybeans soak in water for 12 hours. After
12 hours, pour out the excess water and add clean water. This time the water will slightly over the soybeans. After that, we have to change the clean water every 5 hours.
After two days, pour the water clean, spread a layer of gauze on the soybeans, wait for a while, and the soybean sprouts will be made.
If the bean sprouts are well produced, they have to be soaked repeatedly, and there is a hole in the electric kettle.
can pour out the water very well, and don’t worry about soybeans running out of the electric kettle.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you forget to water it, because the electric kettle has a good moisturizing effect, and it can also avoid light and make the bean sprouts grow better.
And because the space of the electric kettle is limited, the bean sprouts will squeeze each other when they are raised, making the bean sprouts thicker and making the bean sprouts taste better.
2. Replace oil pot
Many people buy a large bucket directly when buying cooking oil, which is very inconvenient every time they have to cook.
The structure of the electric kettle is very suitable for pouring water, and it is the same for pouring oil. After cleaning the electric kettle, pour cooking oil into it.
Every time you cook, you only need to lift the electric kettle, and you don’t need to lift a large bucket of cooking oil, which is very convenient.
3, save grains and grains
, like , black beans and red beans, the shelf life of grains and grains is relatively long, and they are all nutritious, so many families will buy more grains and grains and store them home.
However, since the size of grains and grains is relatively small and if it comes into contact with too much water, it will easily become moldy and deteriorate. Therefore, grains and grains need to be stored separately in a sealed box.
But now a sealed box is not cheap. If you buy a lot of grains and cereals, you may not be able to pack them all.
. At this time, we can actually use a used hot water kettle to fill grains. After covering the lid, grains will not run around, and to a certain extent, it can avoid large-scale contact between grains and grains.
How to maintain the kettle?
If the electric kettle is not properly maintained, it is easy to break down. So what should you pay attention to when using an electric kettle in daily life to play a role in maintenance?
1. Clean
frequently. If the electric kettle is exposed to water, it is easy to accumulate scale at the bottom. Once the scale is too thick, the heating function of the electric kettle will be affected and the service life will be shortened.
Therefore, after we use up the electric kettle, we must pour out the water and clean the electric kettle from time to time to avoid scale in the electric kettle.
2. Do not exceed the water level
Generally, electric kettles will be marked with the highest water level and the lowest water level at the bottom and top.
So when boiling water, we should be careful not to put too little or too much water. Too little can easily make the kettle dry, and too much can easily make the boiling water overflow outside the kettle.
