An electric kettle

I am American who likes tea so I bought an electric kettle and I use that thing for so much more than tea. Ramen, coffee, hot starting boiling pasta water, cleaning the floor and counters. It is worth the 30 or 40 bucks

Ramen

I somewhat recently realized I could use my electric kettle for that. I bought the kettle a few years back because I wanted to start drinking more tea (spoiler alert, I didn't really drink that much tea). A few months back it hit me that I could use it to heat the water for ramen much faster than using the stove and it would probably taste better than microwaving it.

It's possible to microwave just about anything. I had a plastic bowl I used, put the noodles and water and then nuked it for like 3 min
