Personal Consumer Issues • Brown spots on the inside bottom of the kettle

It's an electric kettle, right? We've been using those exclusively to boil water for what seems like decades. We've bought them as gifts for our parents, and their guest houses and have owned/bought many of these of different brands and several countries. Every kettle we've owned regardless of location/brand eventually has what looks like rust and/or tarnish at the bottom. Colors vary, pitting sometimes happens, etc. Rarely comes off with cleaning, etc. But my conclusion is that it's an entirely cosmetic issue which doesn't affect the operation of the kettle. And if it indeed is rust and/or mineral deposits, there is zero health issues unless you have a known medical disorder where your body does not have the enzymes necessary to help you eliminate iron. *Not medical advice. :wink: At it's worst, it may slightly decrease the efficiency of heat transfer (but I doubt it).
