For some, it annoys, for some it is a symbol of comfort in the house. But neither one nor the other will deny that it is extremely useful. It's all about the teapot whistle. Wise people have come up with a whistle that whistles heart-rendingly when the kettle boils. But if the whistle is lost or broken, then you can restore it only by buying another kettle with a whistle. These accessories are not sold separately. You can make an exceptionally useful whistle for a kettle with your own hands.
It is necessary
- - wing nut,
- - fixing screw,
- - metal plate.
Instructions
Step 1
The simplest way is a rubber toy with a whistle. The whistle must be made of metal. Drill a hole in the teapot lid according to its size, insert and seal on the rubber gaskets. The rubber must be food grade.
Step 2
The second way is more difficult. But more aesthetically pleasing. First of all, you need to find a round metal shape with a bottom, slightly larger than the diameter of the spout of your kettle. This can be a metal cup from a tourist's set, a metal glass or a small mug. The main thing is that it fits tightly on the spout of the teapot.
Step 3
Next you will need: wing nut, mounting screw, metal round thin plate for the membrane. Its diameter should be 3-5 mm less than the diameter of the metal mold. Drill holes in the center of the bottom of the future whistle for the wing nut and in the center of the metal membrane for the mounting screw.
Step 4
Make small lenticular slots in the walls of the mold, just below the level of the membrane installation. Assemble the whistle: put the membrane on the mounting screw, install the wing nut in the bottom of the whistle, screw the screw into the nut. To prevent the whistle from jumping off the spout, glue a food-grade rubber or thermoplastic sealant on the inside of the whistle rim.
Step 5
If you put a round plastic bullet from a children's pistol into the whistle between the bottom and the membrane, then your kettle will emit loud police trills.
Step 6
For the sake of fairness, it should be noted that manufacturers are meeting customers halfway, and samples of factory whistles for non-electric kettles have appeared in some online stores. Products are made, as a rule, of stainless alloys and have two or three sizes in diameter. However, it is difficult to find the right size of the whistle. You can see the proposed options, for example, on the MirPosuda website.
