I bought a cheap stainless steel water kettle a few days ago and discovered that it gives the boiled water a horrible metallic/chemical smell and taste. I've tried boiling vinegar a couple times and baking soda couple times and the smell/taste has improved slightly but the taint is still there.
Is this just because it is low quality stainless (no markings saying what grade of stainless it is) or is there some residue machine oil from the manufacturing left behind? Any suggestions on getting it clean?
