(...) les bouilloires à interrupteur de sûreté sont les plus sûres. Comme leur nom l'indique, il faut appuyer sur un interrupteur après avoir branché la bouilloire pour que l'élément se mette à chauffer. Cet interrupteur se relève automatiquement et coupe l'arrivée du courant à l'élément lorsque l'eau bout.
