I would like to see a US electric range with Schuko outlets and 16A GFCI breakers on the side, but that probably violates too many electrical codes. Schuko makes the most sense because it's unpolarized, so appliances don't expect a neutral leg. You still have the 50/60 Hz problem, but something like a kettle probably won't care. Or there could be a countertop "Schuko dongle" that attaches to the screw terminals on the back of an existing range, if it weren't for those meddling codes... Though in practice, the key to boiling fast is to use less water. A 1500W kettle with 500 mL minimum fill is totally reasonable for cup of coffee/tea.
