Is it true Americans don’t have electric kettles?

Use vegetable or beef stock instead and decide if you're going red or yellow with tomato or tumeric, and cilantro either way.
Paprika is literally just dried sweet pepper. Smoked paprika is pretty good, but not to center your recipe around. Vegetable stock is just disgusting.
And what kind of dumb fuck cooks rice IN THE OVEN? I know your retarded ass doesn't even cover it lol.
Also no salt or pepper???
Absolutely disgusting. No wonder the world makes fun of Brits for having shit food. Your food IS shit and you guys don't know how to cook worth a shit.
British people food sucks -

People are always surprised by how much electricity it takes to heat water, like with electric showers. -

Like I said, I've used electric kettles in a country with 110V standard. It took 3 minutes to heat up. Electric kettles everywhere in the world do. You don't know what you're talking about.
Read it again slowly stupid you clearly don't understand how electricity works...
In the UK, with a mains voltage of 230 V and a limit of 13 A per socket the maximum possible power to one appliance is 2990 watts (2990 joules per second). In the USA, with a mains voltage of 120 V and a limit of 15 A per outlet the maximum possible power is reduced to only 1800 watts
Having lived in the UK for 29yrs and the US for 23yrs..I'm well aware of the differences...my kettle here takes 3 mins to boil..in England it's about 90 seconds. -

Washing machine 10amps 2200 Watts

Not that that's relevant as to 2 kettles one in the US one in the UK. The US kettle is capable of far less power as per the above...again...

LMFAO
No wonder yanks don't drink tea, they all got bored waiting for the kettle to boil. -

Lol none of this is even relevant. God you are fucking stupid. You clearly don't have the understand to continue this discussion further. You're just googling this shit lol -
2020-09-30 at 12:56 PM UTCAn electric kettle is basically just a bit of resistor hooked up to the mains.
Yes, you are powering it at 220-240v RMS. It varies slightly by time of day. -

unless its induction based. technically steel or iron is a resistance metal, and since it resists the flow of current compared to a more conductive, less resistant metal like copper, it heats up.
copper heats up too but its got very little resistance so you need way more wattage to notice the heat.
a lot of hot plates and kettles use resistance heating as theyre simpler to construct, but induction heating is way more energy efficient. it uses high frequency ac in khz usually, as opposed to 60 to 50 hz from the mains...
more surface area equals faster heating. most of these things are not designed for impatient people.
if you think a regular resistive kettle heats fast in the uk, try an induction kettle -
2020-09-30 at 4:10 PM UTCInduction cooking is performed using direct induction heating of cooking vessels, rather than relying on indirect radiation, convection, or thermal conduction. Induction cooking allows high power and very rapid increases in temperature to be achieved, and changes in heat settings are instantaneous.[1]

2020-09-30 at 4:39 PM UTCi plan on making some water distillation vessels using induction. if the kettle or vessel is actually inside the copper coil rather than just on top, it should heat faster
thinking maybe some smooth spikes coming up from the bottom of vessel to increase surface area contact of water for even faster heating..
having the vessel negatively charged to around 17kv and the condenser with high surface area positively charged, the water may also condense faster, as the negatively charged steam will be attracted to the positive condenser....
considering skin depth, i may need a lower frequency -
2020-09-30 at 4:42 PM UTCSorry brah, but you won't get free energy just cos you're using inductive heat. Resistive heating is already 100% efficient/inefficient.

That's not true about only being 15amps. 13 on the 220-240 European because if the amps were higher it said it would be a fire risk but because American 110-120 v exist we I believe have much higher amps. I know I just read this the other day looking up the time it takes to charge a 2000WH portable charger. the higher the voltage the lower the amp has to be.

i didnt say free energy, google it, its well known inductive heating is more efficient
Edit, Induction heating proves to be a highly efficient method for industrial heating applications. 1.) A 1998 study conducted by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for the Department or Energy, found induction cooktops to transfer 84% of the power to the load vs. only 71% for electric coils and 40% for gas -

2020-09-30 at 4:45 PM UTCloogie got me hooked on off grid power and how to read the batteries.
if you don't know a 100Watt lightbulb means that lightbulb will burn 100 watts in an hour.
I had a hell of a time figuring that out. they all say this many watts but never said if they meant an entire day or a month.. I knew it wasn't a month but a day seemed too long as well. it turns out it's an hour. though the battery says 2000WH i didn't know how the electronics were measured
AND NOW YOU KNOW! -

Type of Heating Element -
2020-09-30 at 4:51 PM UTCand thats not even when theyre designed to be efficient...
like i said, surface area/distance and skin depth taken into consideration can boost efficiency even further...
lower frequency magnetic field penetrates deeper, and the closer the vessel is, the greater and more efficient the heat transfer.
hence what i said about the vessel being in the coils rather than just on top -
