Can you heat liquids besides water in an electric kettle?

Asked by angelaclaire (143points) February 18th, 2010

I just bought an electric kettle, only to find that the instructions say not to heat any liquid besides water in it. I have, however, found several recipes and suggestions online that refer to heating broth, juice, etc. in an electric kettle. Do all electric kettle instructions say to heat only water, but some people just ignore them? Or can some kettles/brands handle it, while others (including mine) can’t? If the latter, I certainly want to buy a new kettle – which brands/types can take more than plain old H2O?
