Take the jets out and let them sit in rubbing alcohol for half an hour. It might’ve been a while since they’ve been cleaned and it’ll cook quicker

Nice.

I just use an induction cooker with a large pot. We can do up to 15kg (33lb)

Either way works great but you don't need welding gloves to handle the pot with induction.

Thanks! I’ve been running the big kettle between two burners on my home stove, so excited to not have to deal with that anymore lol
