The Top Non-Toxic Tea Kettle You Must Have in Your Kitchen

by Andrew R. Researcher
Most of us need to consider what tea kettles are made of when we go to the stove to make a fresh pot. However, we should be, and here's why:

Not all tea kettles are non-toxic, and because they come into contact with tea (which we drink), it's critical to purchase a non-toxic tea kettle that is safe. It is common for tea kettles to be made from the same materials as cookware and baking sheets, so to find one that is non-toxic, consider what the tea kettle is made of and whether or not the materials leach once heated.

What tea kettle materials have the potential to be toxic? How do you identify a reliable brand? A non-toxic tea kettle of high quality is an excellent addition to any kitchen.

Is It Safe To Use All Tea Kettles?
Not all tea kettles are safe to use. Many are made of low-quality materials, such as plastic, which can release toxins into your drinks. Plastic materials can release endocrine-disrupting (hormone-disrupting) chemicals into liquids, especially at high temperatures. There has even been a link between these chemicals and cancer and other serious illnesses.

You want to avoid your morning cup of tea with such a side of health problems!

Best Tea Kettle Materials to Look for and Avoid
There are a few materials to avoid and a few to consider when shopping for a non-toxic tea kettle!

Glass Or Stainless Steel Tea Kettles Are the Safest
Stainless steel kettles are strong, long-lasting, and easy to clean. On the other hand, a stainless steel tea kettle has no lasting scents or odors and is fire and heat-resistant.

Glass, on the other hand, provides a complete view, seems cleaner, is easier to clean, and emits no odors. If you get a glass kettle, you won't have to worry about VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) no matter what temperature it is subjected to. The beauty of glass kettles is an added plus!

Avoid Using Plastic in Your Tea Kettle
Plastic kettles are challenging to clean and can harbor aromas and odors. Plastic that comes into touch with hot water will gradually decompose and emit poisons into the water over time.

Another recommendation is carefully checking the kettle's label to avoid nickel and chromium heating components. You also want to prevent your heating element from being in close contact with water.

Furthermore, stainless steel kettles may contain nickel and chromium. These heavy metals are hazardous to the human body in high enough concentrations. So make sure your kettle doesn't have any of them in it!

The Most Toxic-Free Tea Kettles
Look for a kettle that...
- It is made mainly of borosilicate glass, including the spout
- The lid is made of 304 or 316 stainless steel (instead of the commonly found plastic)
- Features temperature control for preset boiling temperatures
- Is it electric? (no stove required)
- There was no loud beep

Conclusion
There are several non-toxic tea kettle alternatives! The essential thing is to consider each one's usefulness and aesthetics before deciding on the finest tea kettle. These alternatives are of excellent quality and should endure for a long time. It is preferable for your health to use a non-toxic tea kettle.
