True connoisseurs of tea and coffee know that electric kettles cannot convey the real, true taste of these drinks, as there may be a taste of plastic in the water.
Therefore, in order to fully experience the taste and enjoy tea drinking, it is necessary to brew it in an ordinary kettle for the stove. Moreover, they are considered economical, as they do not consume electricity if used on gas hobs.
Consider the existing types of kettles for the stove, as well as the most popular models among buyers in 2022.

The main distinguishing feature between the models, in addition to volume, additional functions and appearance, is the material of their manufacture. Consider what they are made of and what types are considered more popular and practical to use.
A kitchen appliance made of this material does not have any negative effect on the taste of water and does not change its smell. Also, the pluses include the fact that stainless steel kitchen appliances do not emit harmful toxic substances when used, it is considered the safest, since the material does not enter into a chemical reaction with water when it is heated.
They have a long service life, with proper care, they can last more than 10 years. The weight of the product is small, which makes it even more practical to use. The cost of kitchen utensils is quite acceptable, stainless steel appliances belong to the budget price category.
But in order for the appearance of the product to last longer, it needs some care.To get rid of scale inside, you should periodically clean it with citric acid or vinegar. It is also not recommended to wash kitchen utensils with powdered cleaners and hard brushes - this will damage the outer layer of steel and leave scratches that will spoil the appearance of the product.
Stainless steel kitchen utensils are considered the most popular among users due to their low cost and positive qualities.
Kitchen appliances from it are distinguished by their bright appearance - colorful plain models or with various patterns are on sale that will decorate any kitchen. Kitchen utensils from this material, as well as from stainless steel, are considered environmentally friendly, since they do not emit harmful substances during operation. After boiling, the water in it cools down a little more slowly. The product can be easily cleaned of dirt.
But this material still has certain drawbacks. Firstly, traces of soot remain on the outer side of the enamel after frequent use. Secondly, the service life of enameled is still much less than that of products made from other materials of manufacture. Over time, the enamel begins to flake off and crumble, which spoils the aesthetic appearance. If there are chips, it is strictly forbidden to use it, because substances harmful to human health can get into the water.
In order for the container for heating water to last longer, sudden changes in temperature should not be allowed - if only a boiled kettle comes into contact with a cold surface, damage may appear on the enamel.
Tempered glass kitchen appliances look very stylish.Most often they are designed to heat water on induction hobs, but there are models that can be used on other types of panels.
Like previous materials, glass is environmentally friendly, does not emit substances harmful to the body. Moreover, many users like to watch the process of boiling water through a transparent kettle.
Unlike stainless steel and enameled steel, scale does not form on the glass, it is not difficult to clean the device from external contaminants. Moreover, heated water retains heat for a long time. If you treat the product with care, it will last a long time.
Of the shortcomings of this material, it is worth pointing out the overpriced and heavy weight. Also, do not forget that glass is a rather fragile material, any, even minor blows, can render the product unusable.
One of the most inexpensive options, but not the best in quality. Firstly, in some models, the alloy contains harmful substances that, when interacting with water, can release heavy metals, which will adversely affect human health. Secondly, you can notice a change in the taste of water after it boils in an aluminum appliance. Water in them will cool faster than in containers made of other materials. It is also worth considering that they do not differ in an attractive and stylish appearance.
Due to so many negative qualities, aluminum appliances for heating water are not in great demand among the population. Of the advantages, it is worth noting only the low cost and low weight of the product.
At present, cast-iron teapots are not popular: the water in them boils for a long time, the weight of the product is very large, the old models have an unattractive design. Modern cast iron appliances can be made in an interesting appearance, but the price for them will be quite high.
But it is worth noting the positive aspects in use: water retains heat for a long time, the container does not require special care, and it will also last for quite a long time.
Ceramic appliances are also no longer in demand among buyers, although they have a pleasant appearance and are relatively inexpensive.
For the manufacture of glass-ceramic is used - this material is able to withstand high temperatures and does not adversely affect the quality of water. But nevertheless, they are still considered quite fragile - sudden changes in temperature can ruin the product, and minor blows can lead to its split.
Before buying a kitchen appliance, you should familiarize yourself with the mandatory criteria that will help you avoid mistakes and make the most optimal purchase. These should include the following indicators: for what type of hob is purchased, volume, material, type of handle, availability of additional features, price, manufacturer. Let's consider each criterion in more detail.
The first thing you should pay attention to is what type of hob you can use the appliance on. If an induction panel is installed at home, then you should choose from those models in which this moment is indicated in the instructions. Many kettles are suitable for use on almost all types of surfaces.
The more users live in the house, the larger the volume of kitchen utensils should be. A family of four is better to choose from 2.5-3 liters. But if one person lives in the room, then 1.5 liters of kitchen utensils will be enough.
According to the material of manufacture, stainless steel and enameled are considered the most popular. But the main thing is that the product should not have chips, scratches, rust and other similar defects. Before buying, it is worth inspecting the kettle in detail from the outside and inside for damage.
The handle on the water heater is of two types: fixed or rotary. Which one is convenient to use is a personal choice for everyone. But rotary can be lowered during operation and thereby heat up from the kettle. As a result, you can get burned. Therefore, you should pay attention to the fact that the fasteners on the handle and kettle fit snugly. According to the material of manufacture, they can be ceramic, bakelite or metal, with a plastic or silicone overlay.
There are many options on sale with or without a whistle. It notifies that the water has boiled and the device should be turned off. A very handy feature for those who cannot sit in the kitchen and wait for the water to boil. Whistles can be removable and non-removable.
The cost of the product depends on all the above criteria. The larger the volume, the better the material, the presence of additional functions, the more beautiful design - the higher the price will be. The most budget options start at 250 rubles, but usually they have a short service life. Expensive models can reach a cost of 12,000 rubles - in addition to high quality, the price may be too high due to the brand name.Therefore, sometimes it is better to choose among the middle price category.
Also important is the choice among manufacturers. It is better to choose goods from popular brands that are known for the high quality of their products. From domestic manufacturers, it is better to consider offers from StalEmal and Lysva enamels.
If the buyer is more inclined towards foreign production, then it is better to give preference to the following manufacturers: the American company Kitchenaid, Berghoff (Belgium), Gipfel (Germany) and the French brands LE CREUSET and Tefal.
These purchase recommendations will help you make the right choice and buy a product that will last for many years.
The widest range of different models is available in online stores. Also, kettles for the stove are sold in stores selling household appliances and electronics. But usually the choice of these products in them is slightly limited.
On the sites, you can put the necessary filters for the user, which will speed up the process of choosing a product. The buyer can immediately limit the product by price (look from the most expensive or budget categories), by the desired color, what volume the product should have and the material of its manufacture. In addition, you can choose options with additional features (the presence of a whistle or a thermally insulated handle), for which type of stove and, of course, by the desired brand.
Particular attention should be paid to popular models of kitchen utensils for stoves and get acquainted with new arrivals in this kitchen category.
In the online store, each product has a detailed description with all the important characteristics that the product has.If the specified information is not enough for the future buyer, there is always the opportunity to contact the seller or manager and clarify the necessary nuances.
Before the final purchase, you need to pay attention to the reviews of those models that are most interested in. An externally beautiful kitchen product can be a little impractical in use, which other buyers will definitely mention in the left opinion. Or the quality of the product is actually much worse than it was stated in the characteristics. Negative statements from buyers who have already purchased this product can be a powerful argument to refuse to buy an interested teapot.
