Are Collapsible Kitchen Gadgets Any Good?



I unbox and test space saving kitchen gadgets and utensils, perfect to organize a small kitchen. Is the collapsible kettle any good?

  1. Silicon things in general, especially softer ones, don't was very well in the dishwasher, that's a big drawback. They can go in, but they always are left with some residue because of the porous surface

  2. I bought one of the folding kettles a few years back for when we are travelling and staying in hotels. During the pandemic, hotels stopped serving coffee in the office in the morning, so having this little gizmo in our bags, along with some tea, coffee and sugar and voila, coffee in the morning. I've had no problems at all with it and would recommend it.

  3. I have had the collapsible kettle for two years now and I love it. I never had an issue with the limescale but I use bottled/purified water in it because we have hard water here in California. And answer your question yes the kettle will turn off and on if it is allowed to shut off in the on position and you leave it plugged in I don't know if the base has a sensor on it but I noticed when I used it a couple of times I forgot to empty the water out right away and when I went back and checked on it 30 minutes later it had turned back on I use mine in the bathroom it usually heat the water in less than 5 minutes

  4. I think the collapsible board is for washing vegetables after you cut them ,like after you cut a bunch of potatoes you just pop the edge up and add water to remove starches or to wash off dirt from cabbages and such.
    Sure you can use it for dishes but you have a sink for a reason.
    Conclusion
    I think you use it to hold vegetables in water
    Without using a bowl or using the "dirty" sink

  5. We use this kind of electric kettle in our RV and it has traveled thousands of miles with daily drinks and more. The sides do seem thicker and more stable than yours. However, you do have to be careful to not burn yourself from steam

  6. I do have the kettle you featured in the first product. It is very lightweight and great for travel. I did not experience any such residue you mentioned. If you keep the kettle switched on, it will keep the water hot till next use. I bought it for travel because many times I experienced kettles at my accommodation is oily on the inside, probably the previous guest used it to cook instant noodles. Overall it is a nifty little gadget 👍

  7. I actually have a couple of these things. The kettle, funnel, whisk and strainer. The kettle is my favorite never had issues with the kettle. Works great. I also do periodic maintenance with it by boiling winger when i need to.

  8. "Limescale", aka hardwater, aka calcium, is bad. You don't want it to build up on anything, including your kettle. There is this thing called a water softener, it's just a bunch of salt chunks that takes the calcium out of your water. Bet your shower heads look awesome.
