[Help] The Pub Debate

[TomandJerry]

This evening's pub debate has landed upon the best way of boiling water for a brew

Option A) The Kettle

Option B) Stovetop Kettle

Option C) The Microwave

Apparently one bloke here reckons he can tell how the water has been boiled from how the tea tastes

 

[beorhthelm]

of course he can tell because if you try to use a microwave it will taste disgusting.

Does ask the question who the f*** is boiling water in a microwave?!?

Septics do apparently.

Instant hot water tap was a game changer at work.

What's next week's pub debate, Do bears defecate in woods ? Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back ? What religion will the next Pope be ?

 

[Rambo]

Boiling taps?

Kettle to heat fresh water if it’s Tea and microwave to warm the milk in my mug before the fresh coffee gets added. The water in the kettle needs to be changed every time it’s boiled, don‘t reheat it.

I finally found out why Americans dont have kettles- its because the voltage is less than half that here (110 V to 240v) and Electric kettles take about twice as long to boil in the US (110v) as in the UK (240v) - if they used a UK Kettle it would take about 4 times as long

Kettle.
Think the poll needs boiling water tap added though

 

[Bozza]

No Air Fryer option?

I'm guessing you are one of those people who iron their socks and bedsheets, and use a leaf-blower.

We’ve now got an induction hob which boils water very quickly in a saucepan, and I’m tempted to look at an induction kettle as they’re supposed to be more efficient than an electric kettle. Does anyone have experience using an induction kettle?

Absolutely not. My wife does it for me.

I suspect the main reason is cultural. Americans tend not to drink hot tea (or instant coffee) so there is little need for a kettle that will be used multiple times a day, as they are in the UK. When I've gone looking for an electric kettle over here I've had to hunt one down (and there is little choice, typically).

Do they not sell beer in your pub?

This.

I’m a kitchen gadget collector/hoarder/obsessive.

I even use some of them.

The very best thing of all? A Quooker. Normal hot and cold, boiling, chilled & filtered, sparkling chilled and filtered.

Total game changer. Haven’t used a kettle since we did the kitchen up a year ago.

Trying to accommodate our American contingent with option C?
