A system for detecting a possibility of boiling over and preventing said boiling over comprising a vessel having a vessel's lid, the lid being characterised in that it is configured to: receive information on an initial level of the vessel's content and current level of the vessel's content; and establish on which heating section of a particular cooktop the vessel and the lid are positioned; and based on a difference between the initial level and the current level as well as the time of the creation of said difference: the lid is configured to instruct a height actuator of the lid to extend said lid vertically, in order to extend height of said vessel, and the lid is configured to instruct an aperture actuator to create an aperture in the lid's; the lid is configured to communicate with said cooktop in order to decrease power generation on said heating section.

An electric kettle having a handle coupled to one end of a body is proposed. The electric kettle includes: a body receiving water or food therein; a lid configured to shield an open upper side of the body; a base provided at a lower side of the body and configured to support the body; a spout provided on an upper end of the body and guiding a discharge of the water or food contained inside the body; and a handle fastened to the upper end of the body and configured to be held by hand. According to the configuration of the electric kettle, there are advantages of providing a compact and aesthetic appearance and improving assemblability.

A system for detecting a possibility of boiling over and preventing said boiling over, the system comprising a vessel (101) having a lid (102), the lid (102) being characterised in that it is configured: to receive information on an initial level of a vessel content and a current level of the vessel content; and based on a difference between the initial level and the current level as well as the time of a creation of said difference: to instruct, by means of a controller (203), a height actuator (207) of the lid (102) to extend said lid (102) vertically, in order to extend the height of said vessel (101); and to instruct, by means of a controller (203), an aperture actuator (206) to create an aperture in a top of the lid (102) in order to facilitate exchange of heat.

An appliance (100, 200) for heating a liquid to make a beverage, the appliance (1) including: a sensor assembly (10) including: a duct (12) having an inlet (18) and an outlet (20), the duct (12) defining a liquid flow path (21) between the inlet (18) and the outlet (20) for the liquid; a sensor (22) having an operative end portion (28) in the flow path (21) for measuring line parameters of the liquid in the flow path (21); and a nozzle (34) to receive water under pressure and direct a water jet transverse to the flow path (21) and towards the operative end portion (28) of the sensor (22) to at least aid in cleaning the operative end portion (28) of the sensor (22).

An electric kettle may include: a body receiving water or food therein; a lid configured to shield an open upper side of the body; a base provided at a lower side of the body and configured to support the body; a heating module provided in a side of the body and configured to apply heat to the body such that the content contained in the body is heated; and a handle provided at a side of the body and configured to be held by hand, wherein a control means is provided in the handle, the control means being configured to control power supplied to the heating module or to control a temperature of the content contained in the body.
