I did a calculation on that some time ago. In the Netherlands you'd need to boil your kettle dry (yes dry) about 7000 times to get to a theoretical concentration of any where close to what the EU considers a carcinogenic risk.
@@wendywright4659 Funny story. Several years ago, my husband asked what I wanted for Christmas. I said a new electric kettle. But I wanted a pretty stainless steel one because the kids were all old enough to not burn themselves and we didn't need the ugly plastic "cool touch" kettle anymore. Guess who burned their arm in the first week? 🙄 I seriously should know better than to tempt the universe with a smug statement like that! 🤣

actually there is a very good explanation why you shouldn't boil water twice and it's the same reason you should only drink tap water after you let 1 L run through before drinking it. it's about the heavy metals in the water. this is very serious. I have just recently seen test results from tap water and the longer water sits in a metal enclosure the more metals it contains. for a tap it was very simple after turning on the tap the first water coming out has incredibly high concentrations of heavy metals and is not safe to drink, that contamination then decreases exponentially and after the first liter had passed the concentration was low and safe to drink. makes absolute sense to me that boiling water in a metal container and especially boiling water twice increases the problem. also in many parts of the word the mineral concentration in the water is very high and hard water leads to galvanic corrosion which only increases the high metal concentration. most of europe has incredible high mineral concentrations. another consideration is that many people use cheap water boilers made of plastic. most water boilers you can buy have a plastic water container. only the more expensive ones use metal. but the plastic has it's own problems. when you boil water in plastic is gets contaminated with all sorts of unhealthy stuff like BPA. all in all I would never boil water twice. turn on the tap, let 1 L run through and boil the fresh water in a metal water boiler or pot. that reduces most of these problems down to a manageable safe level.
Mar yes, but the container you’re boiling it ibis not made out of heavy metals, it’s made out of steel, aluminum, or glass, hopefully. If you have a lead kettle, I’d recommend not having a lead kettle.
@@Boomchacle would you look up the different definitions of what heavy metals are please.. the most useful definition is every metal over 5g/cm³ is called heavy metal which includes the steel you mentioned. especially aluminium is not safe to consume even though it doesn't count as a heavy metal. also you don't seem to know that most pots and kettles and taps are made of alloys and they all include a huge variety of different metals or do you think stainless steel is just iron and carbon? also I don't think there are glass boilers or pots. that would be new.

It’s energetic (not genetic) makeup that gets changed - in the microwave especially the natural (liquid crystalline) water molecules in your food become distorted and disconnected. The liquid crystals are conveyors of pranic quantum energy /cosmic energy / life force. Technological Radiation dissonant with life energies is detrimental/ taxing to each’s natural vitality. Namaste
@@thomaxtube No. I'm going to stop you right there, no. The "energetic makeup" doesn't get changed. Microwaves are a low energy wave in the light spectrum. They cause the molecules to vibrate, this creates heat, and as such, warms up your food. Or any other object placed into the microwave. It doesn't distort or disconnect the water molecules. That would blow up your kitchen and your entire neighborhood. As for the rest of the word salad you threw in there, most of those words aren't even things.
@@thomaxtube You are so wrong on so many levels. The sun produces light. Everything from UV (high end) to low IR (low end) The oceans, lakes, trees, and people are exposed to microwaves every time they step outside.

Finally someone mentioned chemistry and not whether it's ok to state "no" for 15min. While impurities were mentioned, the only elements elaborated on are iron, nickel and lead, not one word about calcium in the whole video. In my experience most everyone I know can taste higher levels of calcium or,indeed, calcium carbonate in the water when boiled multiple times, so are there areas where there is none of it present in tap water, and thus the makers of the video were not aware of the influence - or does everyone else here filter it out completely anyway?
I recommend penta-boiling. The first boil kills bacteria. Second boil leaches iron from the pot. Third boil incorporates settling asbestos dust. Fourth boil re-introduces bacteria. Fifth boil melts plastic lining of boiling can.
I litterally call them vegetables tea or fermented leaves soups aka I don't like either of them. The only time I use my electric kettle is for making noodles and spaghetti because my kitchen range is not properly powered to get water hot at a reasonable time.

@@angrytheclown801 Pretty much, if the water is toxic enough that removal of even 50% of the water would be dangerous, then most likely you should not be drinking it in the first place and should look into some activated charcoal.

I used to work with a bloke who would make his tea, in the mess room, which was a bit of a distance from where he drank it at his work station. He always boiled the water for longer, he said, because he didn't want it to be cold when he returned to where he worked. In short, he thought that the water would get hotter the longer he "cooked" it for. The worrying thing was, he worked in a power station!

@@CrusaderSports250 A bit late to the party on this one, but the majority of americans don't use a kettle to make coffee. A coffee maker (either full pot or single cup) is as common in american kitchens as a toaster, and about as cheap and easy to buy in nearly every store, and the pre-ground coffee for use in these machines is, similarly, widely avaliable everywhere. In fact, using a kettle (with, say, a french press) to make coffee in the US is rare not because it makes worse coffee (most would tell you the machine coffee is actually worse) but because using the machines is much more convenient.
@@michaelmusker7818 kettles are definitely the way to go over here, in fact more common than a toaster, and as far as a French press is concerned, is that some kind of exercise position?☺, but jokes aside I can't think of anyone I know who has a coffee machine, but they all have at least one kettle, its also a quick way to get boiling water for cooking, and tea of course☺☺.

Consider yourself lucky. This is essentially a revised version of the myth that microwaves make your food carcinogenic or otherwise toxic, including water, made popular after a "science" experiment in a RU-vid video showing that microwaved water killed a plant when watered with it as opposed to one watered straight from the tap. Strange how that is when the fluoride in the water is supposed to be super deadly already......
I've noticed that when I reheat my tea in the microwave more than once it does start to taste bad. Once I tested doing it four times in a row, letting it cool down and reheating, and had to spit it out. I think that has something to do with the curdling of the milk I add to it.

@@swunt10 Americans have soft water? Have you heard of limestone caves? I lived in a city that was surrounded by them, all underground. Where do you think our water came from? Not the contaminated river, no. It came from underground, after passing through enough minerals to build a damn skeleton. Seriously, it caused plumbing nightmares everywhere. People made a killing off of water softeners and limescale removers.
Alexander Mills here in America we have all the water. Hard, soft and everything in between. In Madison WI, for example, there is an aquifer that actually feeds the city. But where the water is stored is in magnesium. This makes the water very dense and very hard. We have water softeners so it doesn’t clog the pipes and our faucets.

You Brits are so silly with your ideas on the best way of brewing tea. We Americans have known the objectively best way to make tea. 1.) Take tea 2.) Locate the harbor. 3.) Throw tea into the harbor. (Optional) 4.) Enjoy a nice cup of coffee instead.
I am British anyway. I don't need to throw the tea in the harbo(u)r because I much prefer to have coffee In fact I am off to get one after I am typing this
@ Nah. I'm good. I don't really care where the coffee is from, so long as it hasn't been screwed with and is coffee-flavored coffee. French presses are great, though. Bit of a pain in the ass to use, I prefer drip brew for sheer convenience. Never instant, however. Instant coffee is just terrible. Same goes with percolator brewed coffee.
This is very much the sort of response I would give to someone if they had asked me this question. I've been asked before whether I am able to give a straight "yes or no" answer. well....
The one I kept hearing for a while was that reboiling the water removes the oxygen atoms (probably because of the bubbles), so it turns out you can make deuterium in your kettle.

Well, I never heard about twice or more boiled water being bad in my entire life. I did learn in the Boy Scouts how to purify water without chemicals in I think what? Like 5-6 different ways? Maybe more? The common thing they shared save for I think one was you'd boil the water for at least 10 minutes, 15-20 minutes preferred if you have the time. Boil time was the important part of boiling, not how many times it's boiled. Of course, multiple boilings isn't advisable in such scenarios, because presumably you're expending time and energy to gather fuel for your fire, and multiple boilings can be wasteful fuel-efficiency-wise. We even learned how having a clear plastic garbage bag can save your life if you find a healthy tree with leaves. You put the bag over one of the branches (branches inside bag), tie it closed, and wait (sun must be out). The tree "breathes" out water vapor, which is then condensed and collected by the bag. After a while, you can have as much as a canteen of water pooled in the bag, and it's already safe to drink. You can't keep doing this to the same branch, or you'll kill the branch. Cool, eh?
I prefer Oolong tea overbrewed. I steep it in boiled water for 5 minutes. Gets a good rich dark chocolate bitterness that I don't get from any other tea that I've tried. This is well above the "standard" 190F (88C) for 4 minutes or so typically recommended. If you haven't tried it yet and are a fan of foreign teas, I'd suggest giving it a shot.

Properly, tea should be made with water that's heated almost to the boiling point, but not to boiling. Learned this from Dorothy Sayers, one of her "Lord Peter Wimsey" murder mysteries. Which are great fun and extraordinarily well written. There's no explanation of "why", just that's the way proper tea is made. Sayers also wrote a novel which caused a drastic change in British law. A jury made up of your "peers" was literally true in England for a long time; a peer of the realm, a duke for example, could only be tried before a jury of other peers of the realm. Sayers wrote a mystery that included just this problem, and it was so popular and so many people wondered if this problem was true (and it was) and the problems were so horrendous, that the law was changed.

It depends on the tea. But I assume you're talking about what people in the UK call "black tea", which the Chinese call "Red Tea". The "correct" temperature for matcha, sencha and many other teas vary. :)

It's worth noting that leaving water in the kettle, even if you pour it out before reheating, can sometimes make your kettle rust out faster. Better to keep it dry when it's not being used. /I once saw an episode of some show... a half hour on how to make toast. It was actually brilliant. Did you know that if you use a toaster oven when you pull the door open and it gently sticks at one location partially opened... that's a design feature? There are all sorts of toast... that toast that is crispy on the edge but soft in the middle, but there is also a much crispier, but not burned toast that is more like a cracker. It's really yummy. To make it you leave the door partially open. It lets the moist steam out and the bread ends up much crisper.

Brewing tea with hard water (water high in certain natural minerals) can effect the taste. Theoretically, water in a tea kettle can also concentrate minerals from tap water to make the water produce unpleasant tea. In areas where water sources tend to have higher mineral content, hot water tanks can collect minerals over time and do concentrate minerals from heating the water to high temperatures. I have seen people use hot water from the tap for cooking. The mineral content in sufficient quantities can change the taste and effect the recipe itself. Unless one has a specific illness or condition, no one is going to get sick or die. However, I feel it's better not to use hot water from the tap for cooking.
Stagnation happens to still water in the right temperature range to farm bacteria... who knew? Of course, reboiling the water would kill that bacteria, but I am sure abundant bacterial corpses might affect the taste.
