@kegge saidmany rangetops in the us are electric
I have an electric kettle, does that count as a kettle?
if a person uses the element in the rangetop,
or the element dedicated to the kettle
it's still electricity
if a person uses a gas range, or a woodstove, or the concentrated light from a magnifying glass to heat the kettle
the heat is still measured in btu
british thermal units
even tho we americans are MUCH better at utilizing the thermal units,
we have allowed, in our extraordinary show of comradeship,
the british to retain the title
you may thank me and i will pass along the congratulations

@rookie54 saidEvery evening my mother uses her electric foot spa. She literally stands in a tub of water before plugging it into the mains.
personally i use both as i have the means to use both and even tho scientists have explained the heat disparity in microwaved water i ignore them with a huff
The world has gone crazy. At night, I put our electric kettle out into the garden.

I don't trust electric kettles.
