Topic	Why don't Americans use kettles?
FaultyCircuitry 06/29/22 4:45:39 PM #20:	TreyFlowers posted... I have apparently found the reason US electricity to homes is 110V. In Australia and Europe it's 230V. So electric Kettles basically take so much longer to actually boil that the gas stove might actually be faster. I guess. I haven't ever lived with a gas stove since moving out of home. All my stoves have been electric. Electric kettles are still faster than stove top kettles even on our lower voltage power It's really just a lack of need for them. Coffee makers are common place (tho I wish people wouldn't settle for them and actually made coffee a better way more frequently) --- And I'd never do it but it's not a joke; I can't tell the difference when I'm all alone ~[she/her\|they/them]~ <cite>FaultyCircuitry posted [p:966209889] in Why don't ...
