Really though, so many Americans would have their cooking lives enriched by an electric kettle.

Not Usonian but I've never understood the electrical kettle, I just use the microwave for infusions and the like. And for everything else cooking related the stove.
Am I missing something?
I prefer kettle as a microwave is slower, and turns ceramic cups into lava.
Very true tho.
You can accidentally superheat your water in the microwave.
Yes, kettles are more efficient at boiling water vs a microwave. On top of that, you don't need to guess the time it's going to take, it just goes until the internal temperature sensor reads 100degs and it shuts itself off with a little 'clunk'.
Thanks for the enlightening, now I understand.
Still microwave for me since while I do enjoy infusions I don't make them that much to justify the expense and the extra stuff laying around.
No worries, thanks for listening! As with all these things the efficiency bonus is slight, so unless you're a heavy user it likely won't represent a saving vs. the energy taken to make the kettle in the first place. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Out of my own curiosity... what's an infusion?
An infusion is, according to WordRefence, an herbal tea (tho technically speaking coffe is an infusion too). This might be just me being pedantic but in Spanish everyone says tea too and they could be preparing ginger or whatever other plant instead.
Sorry for the rambling. 😅
some cultures refer to aromatized or herbal tea as infusion

My parents told me, "be careful the heating elements catch fire, there's little to no safety mechanism, you can't leave them alone!"
It's a kettle...
People either don't know they exist or have some weird thing with them. Gives me the same vibes as cultures that don't sleep with the fans on lol.

Least redundant air fryer usage.
