It is a common belief that you can boil one portion of water in a kettle only once.

That's why many people act like this: they pour out the cooled liquid from the kettle each time and fill the container again to avoid re-boiling.

But are they doing the right thing? Let's answer right away: there is no need to perform the above actions.

For one simple reason: there is no evidence that anything bad happens to water if it is brought to a boil more than once.

What happens to water when you re-boil it

Many housewives are sure that in this case the liquid becomes harmful: dangerous components allegedly appear in it.

However, in reality, re-boiling does not “spoil” the water at all.

Therefore, the liquid can be brought to a boil twice, three times, etc.

Many people are concerned about scale getting into the water, which appears in the kettle when water is boiled frequently.

Yes, it is unpleasant when these "pieces" end up in your mouth. But they are unlikely to cause harm to your health.

Descale your kettle in a timely manner: to prevent any unnecessary deposits from appearing in the water and to avoid damaging the device.
