Are glass kettles explosion-proof and are there any potential safety hazards when using them?

2025-04-29

As a common daily utensil in modern families, glass kettles have gradually become the choice of many consumers for their transparent appearance, no odor, and easy cleaning. However, in actual use, people are particularly concerned about its safety performance, especially whether it has been explosion-proof and whether there are potential risks when using it. These factors are directly related to the safety experience in daily use.
As a material, the inherent brittleness of glass determines that it is easy to break when facing rapid temperature changes or external force impact. In order to improve this characteristic, many glass kettles use strengthened glass during the manufacturing process, such as improving the impact resistance and heat resistance of glass through physical or chemical methods. Especially in the use scenarios involving heating, manufacturers usually choose high-temperature resistant glass types and combine professional processes for explosion-proof treatment to enhance the stability of its overall structure.
Even so, special attention should be paid to the use of glass kettles. For example, during the heating process, if the bottom of the kettle is unevenly in contact with the heating source, or cold water is suddenly injected without preheating, it may cause a sudden change in the internal stress of the glass material, which may lead to cracks or even bursts. In addition, if there are fine scratches on the surface of the kettle after long-term use, it may also become a potential breaking point due to the effect of thermal expansion and contraction.
From actual use experience, glass kettles that have undergone formal quality inspections usually do not easily break under reasonable use. However, when purchasing, you should still pay attention to whether the product is marked with heat resistance grade and manufacturing standards to confirm whether it has a certified safety and explosion-proof process. At the same time, observing the thickness uniformity of the kettle body and whether the connection between the bottom and the body is firm is also an important basis for judging its quality and safety performance.
In daily use, extreme temperature differences should also be avoided, such as immediately washing the newly heated glass kettle in cold water, or placing it in an environment such as a vent or direct air conditioning. At the same time, it is not recommended to burn empty for a long time or let carbon accumulate on the bottom of the kettle, which will affect the stability of the glass structure to a certain extent, thereby increasing safety hazards.
With the support of modern manufacturing technology, most glass kettles have good explosion-proof performance, and their safety can basically meet family needs in normal use environments. However, it still needs to be used in a standardized manner and regularly inspected to truly give full play to its advantages of both beauty and practicality. If users pay attention to details during use, they can greatly reduce potential safety hazards and make life more secure.
