Show Why the Kettle Won't Burn You WHY can you put your fiuger on the bottom or a steaming teakettle without heing burned, is a question sent to Popular Science Monthly, which answers as follow Because the heat of the fire has been trans- i fcrrcd from the kettle bottom to the water, "which is boiling and forming steam. It is for the same reason that kettles with soldered bottoms bot-toms and containing water cau be snfely placed over a fire. The greed of the water for the heat carries it away so rapidly that the temperature of the metal Is unable to rise high enough to melt the solder. |
