In order to find out why some housewives bring the brine to a boil, it is necessary to remember that this liquid contains a large number of organic acids.
These substances, in turn, are capable of corroding scale and even rust.
Here is the answer, according to which you should not rush to pour the liquid contents of canned goods into the sink drain.
Instead, use brine to "revive" the kettle.
Before filling the container with cucumber or tomato brine, be sure to first strain it through a sieve or cheesecloth to remove any spices or small pieces of vegetables.
Now you can safely pour the vegetable marinade into the kettle and boil it.
After the first use, you will notice that the scale layer has significantly decreased. Repeating the operation will help to increase its effectiveness.
However, if you are planning to find another use for the brine before the New Year holidays, no one will judge you if you use another product to clean scale from your kettle – for example, citric acid.
