I find it completely unbelievable. Do people really have no kettles in the US, or is it an elaborate prank played on me?

Seeing as I own one and did not smuggle into the country, I think someone is having a laugh at your expense.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

They're sold here, so I assume some people own them.Comment

My brother has one. I'm pretty sure he didn't have to bootleg it.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

There are lots of people who don't have one though. From what I hear you could say they are even uncommon. They certainly aren't ubiquitous like they are in the UK.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Well, you can just use a microwave to heat water. The only reason he has one is that for some reason it's not allowed for him to have a microwave in his dorm room.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

I should've said "almost no kettles".

Yes, if you have a microwave they're really not needed but if you google it, you get over 6 mil hits so it's not like they're that uncommon.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

On another board I frequent there are many furriners who are astonished that people boil water on the range instead of in electric kettles. They are further astonished that my electric kettle whistles.Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward.

We have abundant cheap natural gas, I think that has something to do with it. Electric-anything-that -can-be-done-well-enough-on-a-stove is uncommon, so kettles, rice cookers, steamers, and griddles tend to be uncommon. Even percolators are rare, as drip is preferred, and stove top percolators are available.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

We have plentiful natural gas in the UK and plenty of gas hobs (I have one), but virtually every house will still have an electric kettle. They are MUCH faster.
This must mean they are also more efficient as the wattage tends to be lower than a high powered gas burner.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
