No, of course we don't microwave the mug WITH the teabag in it. We microwave the teabag separately.

In the US, kettles are supposedly much slower than a microwave or even a hob due to their grid.

Fair enough; but even then, American kettles can boil water at a very reasonable time (3 minutes for 1,5L?)

Still, I can understand how that extra minute alters the choice for many.
