Can an electric kettle boil eggs

Electric kettles can boil eggs, but there are safety hazards and the equipment may be damaged. Electric kettles are designed to quickly boil clean water. Boiling eggs may cause scale deposition, damage to heating elements, or abnormal pressure inside the kettle. When using an electric kettle to boil eggs, the eggshells may be scratched on the inner wall of the kettle due to collision, and long-term accumulation will reduce heating efficiency. During the boiling process, eggshell rupture may block the water outlet, and protein may adhere to the heating tube after solidification, making it difficult to clean. Some plastic water bottles may release harmful substances at high temperatures, while metal water bottles are prone to deformation due to local overheating.

In special circumstances where emergency use is required, intact fresh eggs should be selected, and the water level should submerge the eggs by at least 3 centimeters. During the cooking process, it is necessary to monitor the entire process and immediately turn off the power after the water boils to avoid dry burning. It is recommended to use specialized egg boilers or traditional cookware to better control the heat and avoid cross contamination.

It is recommended to use safer cooking methods for daily diet, and eggs can be treated with low-temperature methods such as steaming and boiling, or water stir frying to preserve their nutrients. If you need convenient egg boiling for a long time, you can purchase a multifunctional cooking machine or an electric cup equipped with an egg boiling rack. Before using any electrical appliance, carefully read the instruction manual to avoid operating beyond its designed function and causing safety accidents.
