"I swear by and will only buy now is a glass kettle

Just what I was looking at.

"If you are in USA you have to take into account that your supply voltage is half what it is here in the uk"

Very true. From the description of the kettle I'm about to buy:

"Only takes 6 minutes to boil 1.5L water. No more long time waiting."

!?!

So....a kettle won't necessarily be faster than boiling water in a saucepan (although heating up a pint of water should be quicker than heating up 1.5 liters).

I just like the idea of not having to hover over the stove.
