If you have time to post you have time to boil water lol. Whole lotta mad British out here trying to gaslight people into buying electric kettles so everyone is forced to live with the same level of degradation and deprivation they do.

I got nothing against electric kettle but I have to ask how y'all cook if you think people are staring at water waiting for it to boil. I usually just put the burner on and start prepping other ingredients (cutting veggies, getting stuff all measured out, etc; it relaxes me)

Most people I know in UK have electric kettle, it is considered bizarre to not have one. Some have a whistle kettle but that is rarer. All will have a kettle of some sort. These are mostly exclusively used for hot beverages, for food a saucepan is still used. Kettles are better than saucepans as they are easy to pour and you can leave the water in them for next cup and it's covered and out of the way. Most UK hotels will have a small kettle in the room with you and tea/coffee etc. Karloff fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Jun 30, 2022 |

münecat came out with a Manosphere video, overlaps a lot with FB Signifier's two recent videos. She does focus more on grifts, which is niche she focuses on, and less on the sociology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgO25FTwfRI

Let's roast people on the rest of their kitchen set up. Do you people all use little knives or is everyone correctly using a scimitar to butter our bagels these days?

DeafNote posted:I am not even sure what the difference is between using an electric kettle or a standard one. Electric kettles transfer heat better because you don't have to wait for the pot to heat up and then- as the second step- heat the water inside of it. This is critical, because if you have one, you need hot water at a moment's notice because Brits will die if they go more than 27 minutes without a cup of tea.

I've never seen a stove kettle in my life outside of Victorian museums and films where they want the whistle blowing to add tension. Do Americans have a preponderance of funnels to pour all the boiled pot water into the appropriate receptacles? It seems like a cruel and unusual way to live.

Just read an article about this argument which claimed that electric kettles aren’t as common in the US because the voltage of your standard power point there makes them take longer. Possibly plausible, possibly galaxy brained.

The 7th Guest posted:drew's back on his bullshit again!!! Speaking of European Bullshit, I am not sure whether 'not knowing about reusable shopping bags' is a Drew thing or a US thing? I am not super surprised that they might not be in common use across the Atlantic, but I wasn't expecting to see them in a weird ads video. E: I mean the ad is weird for me too, but only because these bags are $1 at literally any grocery store and there are So Many Design Variations so I can't imagine ordering them online.

They do take longer than in other countries but are still considerably faster than (non-induction) stovetops.

This just seems like a semantic argument to me. Most American houses I've been to have electric drip coffee makers a la Mr. Coffee if they drink it on the reg. I don't see what the difference is at that point.

Vagabong posted:I've never seen a stove kettle in my life outside of Victorian museums and films where they want the whistle blowing to add tension.  Have you never poured anything without a spout on it? My mom had indoor plants and she'd just fill a cup with water and pour it onto them instead of getting a watering can. Is this also a crime against the natural order? Is anyone interested in the Elden Ring player that made a name for himself? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikUiOKTv-Y8

the stove top is for making abuelita and part of the process is spilling it all over the counter and burning yourself because trying to pour from a pot to a mug is a nightmare difficulty task

Is this some kind of life hack where you use the handle as a spout or something? Just get a good pot with a decent spout and you spill a whole lot less.

I boil water in a stovetop whistler kettle when I need to make rice, and in a big pot when I need to make pasta. An electric kettle doesn't meet the volume requirements for pasta-making at all but might be useful for rice... except I make full use of the boiling-water time to chop onions, melt butter, and do the rest of my prep, so it doesn't help me at all. Electric kettles are extremely good at providing near-instant low-to-low-medium quantities of boiling water but as an American I have vanishingly few use cases for that result.

I don't use a kettle of any sort. I log in and read posts while holding a big pot of water and my white-hot rage gets things boiling in no time at all.

I am not super surprised that they might not be in common use across the Atlantic, but I wasn't expecting to see them in a weird ads video. I'm pretty sure plenty of states have actually banned single use plastic bags for big stores. I'm baffled at the idea that someone in the US wouldn't have heard of them, but I suppose the US is a very large place.
