How many times have you said, ‘I’ll just pop the kettle on’? For many years, an electric kettle was widely regarded as the quickest and easiest way to boil water for drinking or cooking. Simply fill it up, switch it on and a minute or so later, you have boiling water at your disposal. But a boiling water taps offers a better way…

PROMOTIONAL FEATURE

Why we should reconsider the humble kettle

The problem with boiling a kettle is that we tend to boil more water than we need, wasting energy in the process. How many of us are guilty of forgetting we boiled the kettle, then switching it immediately back on again? According to the Energy Saving Trust, the UK squanders a staggering £68 million per year by overfilling kettles, wasting 70 million litres of water every day by boiling more water than is needed.

Plus, kettles can be hazardous. Accidents can occur from spilling boiling liquids and according to the Child Accident Prevention Trust, around half of all serious burns suffered by children happen in the kitchen. Common causes include little ones grabbing a hot kettle or pulling the kettle cord.
