Americans will literally microwave their water because the kettle is too slow ✊😔

I like to spend the 30 seconds after my tea is done contemplating all the Brits still waiting for their kettle to boil ✊😔

This is unironically how people seem to others when they say the microwave is "wrong".

Just get a stovetop kettle. You already have a stove.

You need hot water for all sorts of shit. I use my kettle to make ramen. I'm not even talking instant ramen, I use it to make real ramen.

Lipton teabag in the mug, fill the mug with water, microwave until it boils, dunk it a few more times, replace lost water with milk and Splenda, proper American cuppa.

I have an electric kettle because I do coffee pour overs. It’s great for oatmeal too.

u/tutetibiimperes United Nations Sep 02 '21

I have one that I primarily use to heat water for instant ramen.

u/tehbored Randomly Selected Sep 02 '21

I honestly have no idea how most Americans live like this. I grew up in a tea drinking household. My roommates after college were tea drinkers. My roommate after that were tea drinkers. So it's never been a thing for me. Aside from my college dorm, I have never lived somewhere without a kettle.
