The electricity never goes into the water itself, it just feeds into a heating part. The heat transfers through the kettle into the water. Sort of like if you have an oven, the electricity goes through the “wall” of the oven and heats the air up. But you won’t get electrocuted if you touch the rack inside that the food sits on because that rack doesn’t actually touch the electrified portion of the oven.
