I just heard that Americans don't use kettles...

Why not? They're the best thing ever for heating up water...

Edit: I realised why, tea's not so big over there...

Hey, I don't know about anyone else here but I use one. And given that I eat mostly noodles I use it every day.

How do you exist without kettles?
Do you have to boil the water in a pan before putting it in the pot?

You can microwave water in a cinch.

Well, microwaving is faster, especially if you only want one cup of tea.

I'm mostly talking about energy efficiency, kettles are too slow to win the speed battle.

Who gives a damn about energy efficiency?  How about my convenience efficiency where I can just microwave a bowl of water and put ramen in it instead of messing with some extra container.  And if I'm cooking something in a pot or pan anyway, I just heat the water I'll need in that.  Weirdos.

You Americans need to drink more tea, then you'd get it. You shouldn't have dumped it all into Boston Harbour. I mean, some people prefer coffee but that was a step too far.

But seriously, what?  Won't let you have one?  Is somebody afraid of a little radiation?
