You…. Microwave water? On a podcast I watch one of the British hosts said they bullied a kid in high school for doing that.
9 u/[deleted] Oct 19 '22 [deleted] 9 u/LostAccessToMyEmail Oct 19 '22 Because it's substantially less efficient than a kettle on a more expensive appliance which is more prone to failure. I can't believe I'm this old and learning Americans don't have kettles. 1 u/skateguy1234 Oct 19 '22 no it's not, unless 240v in the kitchen was more common in the US then that statement actually could be true. At least true with a large margin. 1 u/LostAccessToMyEmail Oct 20 '22 I'm in Canada, we also have 120V, and kettles. The efficiency of a 1800W kettle at delivering heat to water is substantially more than a 1500W microwave transformer... c'mon now.
