- subpub47 2y agoElectric kettles make it easy to pour for pour over.
- harshreality 2y agoA water kettle lets you consistently heat water to the same temperature (not just boiling, high-end kettles have additional temperature options), regardless of: - Amount of water - Initial temperature of water - Position of water container They also prevent superheated water accidents.
- specialist 2y agoYes and: Kettles are much easier to clean than microwave (interiors).
- Dylan16807 2y agoBoiling water in a microwave does not make the microwave dirtier.
- gumby 2y agoIn fact if it boils it can help clean it!
- specialist 2y agoTrue. The mess comes from a son reheating food, often tomato sauce based, without a lid.
- cute_boi 2y agomost lid are plastics, so i suggest people heating without lids. Cleaning mwave is east anyway. I am sure ppl don't want microplastic laden food.
- Dylan16807 2y agoBetter that than reheating it in a kettle!
- sandos 2y agoWell our kettle is 2.4kW, our microwave is 800W or so effectively. Also our induction stovetop is much faster, so the nuking option is slowest by a lot.
