I do. And my kettle boils water faster than the electric stove.

So when I boil larger quantities of water I prefer to boil ~2/3 in the kettle and 1/3 on the stove with a lid on for max speed; my time rarely feels more wasted than when I'm waiting for water to boil.

I also use the kettle for hot drinks, of course. I've kept one since I lived in the UK.

They are not universal but reasonably popular in Canada.

Because nobody fucking told us about them! I just got one last year and it's been amazing!

I have one in the basement for my hot drink station.

At one point many years ago, there was an fad for a “hot shot” small appliances. I guess it’s a similar functionality to a kettle but with more moving parts. It disappeared as quickly as it appeared though.

Holy crap, they still exist!

My mom still uses hers. It’s great.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

So does my mom, but hers is really ancient.

I used to like them but since I got the kettle, I prefer

  • more convenience for multiple cups or for ramen, more flexibility
  • no plastic to drink
  • fewer moving parts
  • easier to empty, dry, put away
  • it looks cooler

I bought an electric kettle as soon as I left home. I had one in college. I never had a coffee maker though. I’m happy with instant coffee.

I have an induction Cook top just seems to be a waste.

[–] Cornpop@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I switched to induction and could not be happier. Love that thing. So much power, instant temp control like gas, low fire risk. I recommend induction to everyone.
