I've been using the same kettle on my stove for about a year and I hadn't cleaned it even once until last week.
A while ago I started noticing these weird white chucks that would come out with the water but I just figured that it was because I get a lot of use of out my kettle.
It turns out that the white chunks are actually limescale.
I did some research on it and thankfully limescale is not harmful to ingest. However, it's pretty gross to look at and I certainly wouldn't want to serve a cup of tea to a guest that is filled with strange white flakes.
So I figured out how to clean my kettle with stuff I have at home.
All you need is some regular cooking vinegar to do the descaling for you.
There is no need to buy expensive chemicals that you wouldn't feel safe using on a cooking product anyway.
Start by rinsing out your kettle with warm water.
Then, fill half of it with water and the other half with vinegar.
Place it on your stove and let it come to a rolling boil.
Then, just leave it there over night.
When you wake up in the morning, dump out the water and vinegar solution.
Take a long scrubbing brush and scrub the inside of the kettle to remove whatever limescale is left.
If there is still some caked on, you can repeat the steps over again.
If your kettle is clear of the grime, simply rinse out a number of times with soap to get rid of the vinegar taste/smell.
Voila! Your stovetop kettle is clean and no more unidentified chunks in your tea!
An electric kettle uses electricty and not the stovetop. Once the water has boiled, the kettle stops heating the water and you hear a noise signaling that the water is ready. I use one every day becuase I find that it boils faster than using a stovetop.
There is a product called cerama bright (Not sure of the spelling). Specifically formulated for exactly this type of cleaning. Availible through just about anywhere (Home Depot, Lowes, Wallmart, etc) Good luck!
I would check to see if you have 220 Volts to the stove, even if you have only one leg with 110 volts to stove it will let the burners get half hot. with out the model number i don't know about any censers. The flat tops have temp sensors on them. but not that operates for all four. I would check at wall receptacle first for 220 volts first but only if you are qualified to work with electricity REMEMBER it can injure or KILL you.
Hi yes all stone ware is oven proof so you should have no problems using them just remember they stay hotter to the touch for longer than other oven products they stay hotter for longer once their out of the oven let me know if you need further assistance ok
