Why do some irons (for ironing clothes) need water before they get hot?
In: Technology
Water can in some cases prevent overheating, boiling water has a set temperature and won’t get any hotter. That’s like with electric kettles, if you turn it on when it is empty, it will get extremely hot and will be damaged as a result. Some better models can turn themselves off to prevent this scenario from happening, but not all of them.
