I would make the same argument for the air fryer, rice cooker and pressure cooker/insta pot. I use each one at least once a week for so many things. Like, I just came across a vegetarian burrito recipe that I meal prep with the insta and rice cooker, and when I defrost in the microwave and then reheat in the air fryer 👩🍳💋
I think so. Even though the product is basically the same, the rice cooker insert is much easier to clean up and I can run them both at the same time when cooking. Having hot food and rice (without having to cook it myself) stretches meals and doesn’t take tons of extra effort
I have mine set on a timer, fill it up with water before I go to bed, and when I wake up I can immediately make a hot broth breakfast. It’s reduced my morning routine by 8 whole minutes! Life will never be the same.
I was wondering what sort of kettle you were using that was almost as slow as a stove. Mine takes under two minutes for 2 cups (0.5L), so it checks out.
Yeah, it was hyperbole, but when I bought one, I felt a huge difference when cooking or making tea/coffee.
Want to cook some rice? Just put water in the electric kettle, prepare the rice and put it in the rice cooker, boom, put the already heated water in the rice cooker. It’s a lot faster than putting a kettle on a stove, here’s 220v, but it is different state to state.
For tea? Just put some water in the electric kettle and hear the click sound.
It changed my life, and changed a lot of peoples lives, because when I talk to my coworkers, all of them have the same opinion. It’s just a time saver, but damn, an amazing time saver.
The most useful machine in any home. You if don’t have one, BUY one, and your life is going to change forever.
And make sure to get one with different temperature settings, not just boil.
Being able to do 180° exactly instead of just guessing has been a game changer for white tea.
I was about to say that water can’t reach 180°C at normal conditions but then I remembered that Fahrenheit exists…
Yes but what about 180 Kelvin?
Then you’d have a little freezer I think. Isn’t the freezing point of water (at normal atmosphere) approx. 274 K?
What’s that in rankine?
Now I’m having thermodynamics flashbacks. It’s just under 500 rankine I think? Been a few years since I even thought about that unit
Something like that. Stupid unit to even teach/learn about
Bummer, man! 😔

Is the rice cooker that much better than the pressure cooker? Mine has a rice button, makes perfect rice every time

It heats up water.
It’s useful, but to say it is a life changing is pretty silly.
Sounds like something someone who hasn’t had a life changing water boiling event in their life would say.
The British would like a word…
Not lifechanging because they’re all born with one.
Ireland actually drinks even more tea than capita than us, though that might be entirely due to Mrs Doyle.

Oh, reduced the time by 8 minutes.

Happy brewing!
Sounds like 230V speeds?
Aye, as God intended.

For 120v power grid systems these would boil water twice as slow. But still, the beat and most efficient way to do it.
Still something like half the time of a gas stove and a quarter that of a coil
