The paper has seemingly just discovered the electric kettle and the internet is incredulous that Americans don’t know the best way to make a cuppa
microwaved their waterWait, Imogen, are you telling me you would heat your water in the microwave?
No, no. I lived in an apartment where we heated water in a pot on the stove, or in a … stovetop kettle.OK, we can continue. But no, kettles in the US are not a staple like they are in Australia. Most people, like you did, boil their water on the stove . The other way is to heat it up in the microwave – which sounds gross and I assume would make the water taste weird.
But you can find electric kettles in the US and people do own them. Our very own Miles Herbert swears he had one growing up in Illinois.Asked why his house had the correct equipment for making tea while the rest of the US apparently does not, Miles says they arrived in the midst of a “tea explosion pushed by Starbucks”, which is an upsettingly American reason to acquire a kitchen appliance.lobby, as well as the “just microwave the mug it will be fine” lobby? It truly is a divided nation.
According to Miles, his mum already had a stovetop kettle when Starbucks started pushing tea, so they were already halfway there. Getting an electric kettle if you have already bought into the need to boil water for tea several times a day just makes sense.ok this is truly bizarre and i feel like i am losing my mind. i have an electric kettle. i see them in peoples houses all the time. why is this an article, why is this a thing people say people in the US do not have.
