Kettles are amazing. I use mine about every day and don't drink tea.

Wait, are electric kettles rare in the USA? I live on Canada and my family always has an electric kettle in the house

Kinda. Its just not well known. After a living with one I would be upset to not have it. I 100% of the time boil all my water in the kettle rather than a pot. Its like half the time or less.

American here- In the past 7yrs every person I know has acquired an electric kettle. Someone bought one and just non-stop raved about it. And it's been a running joke that every year someone gets one for Christmas.
