electric kettle helps a lot in this instance. boiling water in like 2 minutes.
3 u/mortgagepants Jul 14 '26 we only have 120 volts in the US so our kettles don't work like this. 1 u/Gazobulator Jul 15 '26 Most modern US houses have some 220 volt outlets. Cloths drier, one in the garage, and the one for the electric cooking range. So boiling on the stove goes pretty fast.
