The notion of kettle is used in different ways depending on the region. In Argentina and Paraguay , a container used to heat water is called a kettle .
The kettle, in this frame, has a spout , lid and a handle to facilitate its handling. To fill it, remove the lid and add hot water; Then, put the lid back on so it doesn't get cold. Thanks to the spout, it is easy to pour the liquid where you want it.
Called a kettle in other countries, the kettle is similar to a teapot , although in the kettle the water is already hot, while the kettle can be placed directly over the fire. Generally these objects are made of aluminum , stainless steel or iron and can be enamelled or glazed.
In some countries, however, these two terms are used interchangeably, since the definition of the concepts is not always so strict in everyday speech. In any case, both the kettle and the teapot are two of the most used kitchen utensils in the world on a daily basis.
One of the most common uses of the kettle is for priming mate . Once the yerba is ready in the mate, the starter can add the hot water directly from the kettle.
The kettle is also used to prepare coffee, tea and even to heat water that is then poured into another container , such as a pot, a plate or a cup, for the purpose of making soups or various infusions. While the rest of the kitchen elements are usually exposed to oil and grease from food, the kettle has more "clean" applications, so to speak, since it is not common to fill it with a liquid other than water.
For this reason, it is not very common to wash it with detergent, at least not every day, but leave it aside after using it.

Tartar is a whitish solid compound that is also known as calcium carbonate . We can find it especially in hard water. After boiling, it crystallizes and sticks to the walls of the kettle; The more time passes before we remove it, the more difficult the task will be.
To clean a kettle whose internal surface is riddled with scale, we can buy abrasive products or resort to homemade methods, which are always healthier and safer to use. Vinegar, lemon and baking soda are the most common and recommended ingredients. The trick is to mix them with water, let them sit for an hour or more and then bring them to a boil, and finally rinse them under the tap. It is important not to try to remove the scale with tools that could damage the surface, such as forks or knives.
The female turkey , a bird that belongs to the order Galliformes, is also called pava. Peahens and turkeys are characterized by their extensive necks with red flesh.
The person who is irresponsible or who does stupid things , meanwhile, can be described as a dumbass. For example: "Don't be a fool and start studying, otherwise you will fail the exam," "My cousin is a fool, you can't talk about anything serious with him."
