This kettle should prepare my opinion no food. The unit smells once it is warm, penetrating to plastic. This smell I knew so far only of cheap extension cables from discounters or billing most tools with rubber handles. Even in such articles, I have a bad feeling. But that comes with a device in contact with food, I think it is intolerable. I do not believe that it is permissible to veraufen this kettle in Germany. The smell is so strong that even after boiling the water has assumed diessen smell. I have the device always filled with fresh water and boiled. The smell is but just become somewhat weaker and not gone. The device goes immediately back to the seller.
