No, it is not safe to use an electric kettle inside a microwave oven. Microwaves are designed to heat food and beverages by emitting microwave radiation. Electric kettles, on the other hand, are designed to heat water using heating elements immersed in the water.
Placing an electric kettle inside a microwave oven can lead to several safety risks. Firstly, the electric kettle contains electrical components such as the heating element and wiring that are not designed to be exposed to microwave radiation. This can cause electrical malfunctions, damage to the kettle, and potential hazards like short circuits or electrical shocks.
Secondly, the microwave oven is not designed to accommodate the shape and size of an electric kettle. The kettle may not rotate properly on the turntable, causing imbalanced heating and potential damage to the microwave's interior or turntable mechanism.
It's important to use appliances according to their intended purpose and follow manufacturer instructions. If you need to heat water, it's best to use either the electric kettle on its own or the microwave oven for food and beverages that are microwave-safe.
