My family immigrated with 2 Japanese kettles that keep water almost boiling hot at all times. I love the simplicity of Western kettles but none of them have this feature.

>>8731078

Since when is an electric teapot "foreign"?

Most Americans heat their water underneath electrified coils.

>>8731078
they use a shit ton of electricity

>>8731351
But they're fast so it's like a short burst.

>>8731274
Actually most americans just microwave their water.

I used to do it too until I bought a kettle to make coffee every day.

Haha ocean dweller, my 6 cups of water BOILS in 3 minutes at 12,000ft.

Take that coastie!

(This is the only bonus to living in the mountains with hillbillies, excluding cheap beer and smokes)

>Actually most americans just microwave their water
this is why many uneducated Europeans make statements about "most Americans"; because similarly uneducated Americans rationalize their poor lifestyle choices with the false claim that most of America's 330 million people are just like them

it's like how some people in the UK think everyone washes dishes without rinsing the soap off

>>8731400

Tell me where in the US you can possible live at 12,000ft.

>microwave water

Kys, no one does this.

I guess a rice cooker if that counts. Best 30 bucks I ever spent next to my slowcooker. Swiss chef knife? Spend the 50+ and get a good chef knife.

>>8731078
Same here it was great. Same model as well.

>>8731267
I didn't know that was "foreign". My family is German in burgerland and we always had one.

One of these.
No more stinky garlic fingers for me. Also, I don't like jarred garlic.

These bitches right here. Still keep some butter in the fridge for baking recipes that require cold butter, but this thing fucking kills for table usage. Room temp butter spreads like a dream and tastes better than that spreadable margarine stuff.

I meant 1200 sorry.

Bjorklund cheese plane

Uh, I dont't know about that. The only person I ever saw microwaving water was an aussie living here.

>>8731459
>Room temperature
So, rock hard?

>>8731129
Because it's incredibly wasteful?

>>8731351
How the fuck do you think heat works, exactly

>>8732410
What type of butter is rock hard at room temperature? Are you an Inuit living in an Iglu?

>>8732450
Worse
British

>>8732453
Haven't been to the UK for a while but I don't remember the butter being particularly different. But you could buy Irish butter instead.

>>8732481
Why would we buy Irish butter? English butter has the same standard fat content.

I always found it rather amusing that americans idolize irish butter when it's nothing special here.

I've only used a microwave to heat milk, I have a kettle for water.

>>8732528
Why can't milk be heated in the kettle too?

>>8731078
Burger here, but I've embraced:
Chinese cleaver
Rice cooker
Moka pot

You are not disagreeing with him.
