What home doesn't have a kettle? I don't think I've ever been to someones house who didn't have one. Who are these degenerates that were boiling all their water in saucepans?
Depends where you live, Technology Connections did a few episodes on kettles because apparently they're not super common in his neck of the woods.
Americans. Us Brits seem to be one of the few countries where everyone has an actual kettle.
I'd compare it to having AC in your house: Most people in the US (and other countries) appear to have it, but they're basically nonexistent over here.
I think they mean a powered kettle.
That's what I'm talking about. Can't remember the last time I saw a stove top one.
Might depend on where you live. I rarely see them- usually only when someone is a tea fanatic
