1. Is the plastic electric kettle poisonous?
1. At present, there are many kinds of plastic household electric kettles on the market. Prices are also uneven. According to the survey, many plastic electric kettles sold in the market are made of non-food grade toxic and harmful plastics in order to reduce costs. Long-term use of this electric kettle will do great harm to human health.
2. Because the quality standard of electrical products in China is 3C certification, which is an electrical safety certification and does not involve food safety issues. Therefore, many manufacturers use national laws and regulations to make products with non-food grade toxic and harmful plastics or recycled plastics to earn excess profits. Many consumers, who don't understand the truth here, probably bought these toxic plastic products because they were cheap for a while. Therefore, this kind of products are very popular in the market at present. And the genuine food-grade plastics, because there is no price advantage, the market space is extremely compressed.
In fact, it is not difficult for consumers to distinguish these products. Just open the lid and smell it when you buy it. Food-grade plastics are tasteless, but they have a strong plastic smell.
In addition, most of the plastic electric kettles we usually buy are made of plastic, but they still use stainless steel liners. When boiling water, because the temperature of the stainless steel liner is very high, a smell will appear when the plastic shell is heated to a certain extent, and a small amount of this smell will not cause harm to the human body. At the same time, the smelly plastic electric kettle also shows that the insulation of the inner container is not good, and the quality of the electric kettle you bought is problematic. If the thermal protection is broken for a long time, it is easy to burn out or catch fire.
Second, matters needing attention in purchasing plastic electric kettle
1. Choose a brand
Generally, the quality of electric kettles of well-known domestic brands is relatively reliable. The quality of electric kettles of unknown brands is basically unreliable. Brand electric kettle has 3C certification mark, products without 3C certification mark need not be selected.
Select plastic materials
The quantity usually used is PP plastic. PP plastic is usually new, with uniform surface and no peculiar smell at the bottom of the pot. Most brands in the market use recycled plastics in order to reduce costs. Long-term use will release harmful substances into water and air, which is harmful to health.
Check the thermostat
The best thermostat in China, with a mass of more than 6000 times, has the protection against dry burning, reliable action and long service life. Imported thermostats have a good brand image and high-end thermostats are of good quality, but conventional thermostats such as 10A household electric kettle thermostats are expensive and of average quality.
There are many kinds of plastic kettles on the market now, and it is inevitable that there will be kettles that are harmful to our health. When we buy a plastic electric kettle, we should check it carefully. If we can smell the plastic directly, such a kettle will do great harm to human body. We can't buy such a kettle. Finally, Bian Xiao wants to say that plastic is harmful to human body. Even if you want to buy a plastic kettle, you should choose a better quality one.
