If you are a facebook stalker - and you know who you are - you have managed to read my latest status:
"RIP my faithful kettle. A thousand apologies for leaving you unattended and letting you evaporate what little water was inside and melting you to the point of implosion. You will not be forgotten! PS - this didn't have to happen if you just whistled when you were done with your job."
To be honest - I never knew a tea kettle could melt, let alone implode. I thought that these hunks of metal were supposed to be indestructible. WRONG!
I'm mildly annoyed too, because I realized my water dispenser (which we need to have because the water is from healthy - unless you want to die) graciously hands out oodles of piping hot water. This whole disaster could have been prevented if I would have known the dispenser dished out hot water!
Anyway, take my advice: *WARNING, WARNING*
1: Do not leave your kettle unattended.
2: If your kettle doesn't whistle to signal it's completion - throw it out.
3: Do not fill your kettle under 1/4 full - your water WILL evaporate and then your kettle WILL implode.
4: If your kettle does implode, remove it carefully from the burner as quickly as possible (word to the wise - use pot holders).
