Even after I knew it was unsafe, the alternative was to microwave a glass measuring cup, burn myself on the handle, drop it, get a face full of hot water and glass, slip, and die slowly bleeding out through my severed jugular, clenching a full cup of dry noodles. I chose the plastic.
It’s always crazy to me that a kettle isn’t a standard kitchen item in NA (assuming that’s where you are).
They’re so cheap and so useful for so many things besides tea and it takes aaaages to get water to boil on a hob for any kind of cooking. Pasta, ramen, soups, sauces, hot water bottles, cleaning anything difficult.
But then again because of the 110V vs 240V situation, they take twice as long to boil in NA vs Europe so maybe it is more comparable to microwaving or boiling on the stove so they seem less useful.
I use a pot on my stove but not a kettle you plug in.
