I use a Panasonic flatbed microwave to heat precisely the volume of water I want by filling the tea cup(s) I want.
Two minutes on high (1100 watt microwave output from, IIRC 1800 watt input) per cup. So usually two minutes for the one cup of I intend to drink.
Every electric kettle I’ve ever owned has a minimum volume of at least two cups. Who bother heating two cups if I’m only going to drink one at a time.
Tasmania (AU), 240v / 100amp supply to residential is standard.
- londons_explore 3y agoAny kettle with a flat bottom (no exposed heating element) can be used with far less water than the 'min' line - and some models don't have a min line at all. All new kettles have boil-dry protection as well, so they won't be damaged with no water at all.
- TheSpiceIsLife 3y agoMight be time to upgrade the kettle. I really want one with temperature setting and insulation.
