The water boiling one doesn't make any sense. One of those devices (stove or kettle) transfers more heat per unit of time into the water. Just use that device for the full amount of water.
An induction range would remove the need for transferring boiling water around. At least in the US, that's the fastest device, since countertop kettles are limited to 1.8kW or so. Induction 'burners' usually are 2.5-4kW, and assuming the right cookware, much better at transferring that energy into the water (and not the air like a gas burner)

- wiether 10mo agoEven 10 second kettle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDLw1Rx_cAI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDLw1Rx_cAI (In 2014 they were still in the EU)
- loloquwowndueo 10mo agoNo fair because you also have the 240V outlets :(

- alexchamberlain 10mo agoYou can have 240V outlets too... at least, a lot of woodworkers seem to install them in their garages. Are they legal in the kitchen?
- devilbunny 10mo agoYes, but it's hard to find the 240V appliances here except for clothes dryers, ovens, or built-in ranges/cooktops. Since a full induction cooktop is very expensive, most people who have induction will have a single portable hob.
- seanmcdirmid 10mo agoThe 220-240v alone is already a huge time saver. 110-120v is just not kettle friendly.

- jemmyw 10mo agoFastest way to do it: induction hob and a hot water tap with one of those under sink boilers. It takes longer to fill the pan than to get the water to a rolling boil.

- lkbm 10mo agoI've been wishing we could do an electric kettle with two heating units, on the off-chance that I have two nearby outlets on different circuits.
- crazygringo 10mo ago> One of those devices (stove or kettle) transfers more heat per unit of time into the water. Just use that device for the full amount of water. I think you're missing the part where you dump one into the other once one boils. Obviously, heating in parallel is going to be faster.
- carlosjobim 10mo agoHeating a cup of water each in two different kettles is faster than heating two cups of water in only one kettle.
