Even with underpowered 110v an electric kettle still boils water faster than a stovetop IME. Still only a few minutes difference but it’s a difference.
Yeah I saw that comment elsewhere. I have to assume kettle/stove material/design/etc have some impact as well. Honestly, I trust TC so I’ll defer to them, I need to watch the video.
edit: yeah his testing is in-line with my experience, electric kettles are just faster.
It’s not even really about speed. My induction stovetop boils water much much faster than my kettle, but I use the kettle because it can be used unattended, go to a specific temperature, and hold a temperature.
My cheapo countertop induction stove can be programed and has power/temp settings. I spent some time testing the temp feature and it was pretty accurate
Nah, a high power gas stove beats it in the “heat a cup of water as fast as possible with no regard to energy usage” competition, and is many areas will still cheaper because electricity is so expensive.
I mean, induction is literally only a specific kind of electric stove. I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen or used an induction cooktop and I’ve had plenty of electric. They heat up an iron coil that you put the pan on, radiative/conductive heat same as a gas stove.

Gas Stoves are unhealthy and make you dumb
I’ll respect electric stoves when they support ceramic pans and get hot instantly

It’s okay, the two red triangles next to your username indicate that there might be already some damage done

It’s a feature of PieFed to warn about Trolls

cool, a feature to find friends and ignore the anti-trolls
I don’t get the appeal of ceramic stove top pans but their are plenty of ceramic pans that support induction. Here is a random example
that contains metal
