Description

A combined appliance of liquid heater and sterilizer Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a combined appliance of a liquid heater and a sterilizing pot. Background Art

[0002] According to market research and patent searches, with the growing popularity of tea culture and rising living standards, in places like Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang, guests are often offered seats before tea is served. Before making tea, teaware must be thoroughly cleaned, especially if it has been unused for a long time, as it is bound to collect dust and dirt. Therefore, it is crucial to thoroughly rinse it with clean water. However, when entertaining a large number of guests, often in successive batches, there is no time for thorough cleaning. It is best to scald the teapot and cups with boiling water or place them directly in a sterilizer before making or pouring tea. Reusing sterilizer water is considered rude. The sight of stains on the teapot and cups, as well as the sterilizer water, can make people nauseous. How could they possibly be willing to drink your tea? Some companies also use disposable cups, which can be very hot, and the high temperature releases substances that affect water quality and pose a threat to environmental protection.
