Honestly, the “rumble rumble rumble, click!” of pretty much every kettle I have owned is more than enough…
Even the cheap shit ones, like say in hotel rooms (completely ubiquitous here, no matter how cheap the accommodation is), make enough rumbling noise to work out when they are done…
And if you don’t hear that, it doesn’t matter, because the thing is pretty much foolproof…
It’s just weird to me, that this exists as such a substantial cultural difference, but it does…
Also in general less tea consumption, but yes…
Canada has the same grid, and yet has mostly-ubiquitous electric kettle use…
So…
It’s more than just that. But that is part of it, I agree, yes…
Yep. Takes about 3 mins to boil water in a Canadian electric kettle. I've seen both styles here, but electric is a lot more common. Stove top kettles are associated with elderly folks.
Patient and “polite”, eh!
One day, I will build a house, and the kitchen is getting dedicated 20 amp circuits. Plural.
To quote Uncle Bumblefuck, and burn down Mama's Hacienda...
But could you find a kettle that drew more watts?
Probably. There are places that have 120 volt high amperage electric service. That or have a 240 volt kettle on a phase splitter.
