there's literally no difference between different water boiling methods

Both get water to a boil.
Microwave takes half the time.
>>61611772
The only tea I drink comes in a can and has the name of the best state in the union stamped on the side.
we do that here too
its faster

What the fuck. Are there seriously people who not only wear shoes indoors but actually sit and eat/watch a movie/relax in them inside their home?
everyone i know use this
I've never met someone who microwaves water to get it boiling. I just use a stovetop.

Coffee LADS, one day you will appreciate the actual fine art of a nice cup of tea, instead of JOHN on your cup.
Post your kettle(s), friends.

Kettle and Toaster right next to each other. True Breakfast hero for the civilised nations.
>>61612591
Tea's alright, but I only ever drink it if there's no coffee around. Either way, water gets boiled in pic related.
>>61612451
Me? It's simple. They cause water molecules to vibrate by having them absorb energy through specific IR frequencies. So yes, you make the molecules move more.
>>61612659
That is a kettle.
>>61612238
Doing so right now m8. Feeling smug frog af. Even have a foot up on the couch
I don't even own a microwave. Feels good man
>>61612671
Yes. Many other Americans also use them.
>>61612671
Kettle purpose is to boil water....
You have to put your tea bag into a mug, put milk/sugar if you want... but a true Brit tea always has milk in.
Yes, I can see why a kettle would be convenient if you drink tea, but I don't, so why the fuck would I need a kettle?
>>61612812
To boil water, you fucking mong.
>>61611741
Perfect cup of tea my Imperial pure Anglo friends....
Boil water in a kettle obviously, so you can produce enough for the entire family
put your teabag into the empty cup you will drink from, proceed to poor milk, proceed to add sugars on the teaspoon as required.... poor in the boiled water and mix. it should look a light brown. There is your perfect tea.
NEVER try to have tea in America. My aunty is American and lives in New Mexico. I learned the hard way last time I was on vacation that the only tea they know is sugar filled garbage that they drink in massive quantities.

>>61612848
The amount of sugar depends person to person. Do you like Sweet tea or not.
>>61612820
For what purpose? You can make tea, ramen, sterilize things. Not trying to be a butthole, I can't think of other reasons. Most cooking requires you to immerse the food into the water for a period.

Or, I could just boil it in a pot on the stove, because 100% of the time I'm boiling water I'm using it for cooking, you fucking retard.
>>61612848
Here it's simple:
if you are eating something salty then is ok to put sugar on your tea, if you are eating something sweet or just drinking tea the norm is to not put sugar. Lemon and Milk depend on the tea

Why are Americans so obsessed with microwaves?
My wife (American) will use it for making soup, or anything that can be remotely microwaved. She hasn't really used it for tea since she moved up here, at least.
>>61613046

Would wouldnt you?
a toast with cheese, avocado and ham is a perfect partner for the tea

>>61613152
Kettles are thought to be a British invention so we don't use them.
>>61613152
Literally faster to empty a can of soup into a bowl and microwave it then stir it on the stove. Microwaves are the easiest thing to use and faster than ranges, what is so hard to understand about that?
>>61613152
There was a huge fad in the 70s and 80s for Microwave cooking over here. It was seen as a revolutionary gadget.
I imagine a lot of baby boomers who grew up when they were first around still use them and probably memorized a lot of microwave recipes.
>>61612983

>>61613246
Imperial was the British Empire system, with Dutch Empire, French Empire, Spanish Empire, Russian Empire............... they all use metric now.......... the nation of the free (USA) the same as European empires 200 years ago, and it is known as imperial...... even the European IMPERIAL (EMPIRES) don't use Imperial anymore.

Then drink chai like a normal person.
>>61613282
I spend couple summers in 40°C+ and drinking cold stuff just makes it unbearable later on since you lower your body temperature and thus increase the difference between your bodytemp and the roomtemp.
You might feel refreshed at the moment but drinking warm stuff is better in the long run.

You don't the same nice even heat distribution with a microwave. Cold centres, pizza has the cheese turn to plastic, microwaves are an inferior form of heating

Depends. If it's, like, soup then it doesn't really matter either way but sandwiches turn into a sponge in the microwave.
>>61613451
Maybe you guys have microwaves that are still from the 60's but they don't have any problems anymore m8, soup is heated evenly, pizza (that's supposed to be microwaved) gets heated perf
>>61613464
I have literally only used it to heat up water so i can clean my bong
>>61613461
Tea is water with flavour?
the fact you need 90% boiled water to even produce a nice tea beverage.....
>>61613219
110v kettles are only marginally faster than stovetop. I'd consider them a waste of space.
>>61613400
no, fuck YOU. coffee shops may be catering to 20 year olds who drink all this stupid shit now, but eventually you'll move on to some other trendy drink and people will be able to order coffee again without being asked 20 fucking questions.
>>61613478
Pizza also becomes too soggy in the microwave. If it's one lone slice no problem because it's not worth the time and electricity needed for the oven. Several slices however the oven is always better.
>>61613472

Red baron is the best microwave pizza. If I'm reheating pizza from somewhere else, I do it in a pan on the stove
>>61613519
This. Soggy and then within 30 seconds of removal from the microwave you have a shitty hard plastic cheese pizza.
Oven is superior, it might take longer but it's worth it

I heat it in a pot to boiling, pour the water over the bag, and drink it in one sitting. That's it.
>>61613461
One day you will learn, i have sent you half way
>>61613530
Have you never made your toast sandwich in the microwave? It's almost as good as dipped bread
Yes, sandwiches are always a mistake to reheat in the microwave and I prefer to wrap them in foil and reheat them in the oven at 250 degrees for about half an hour.
>>61613505
>>61613557
coffee > tea
Grilled cheese sandwiches I use the microwave for because although it doesn't come out the best, again the time and electricity needed for the oven isn't worth it.
I've also found that K-cup coffee is never ever as good as ground coffee made in a pot.
>>61613590

Shameful.
>>61613590
>the time and electricity needed for the oven
Buddy, the stove will be on for five minutes, tops. The electric draw of a single burner won't be that much more than the microwave. And if you make it on the stove, it's made...you know...right. Everything's just the right amount of greasy from the butter, the cheese is perfectly melted, and so on.
Microwave "grilled" cheese is just a mess of rubbery cheese (not that American cheese is real anyway, but still) and warm bread.
>>61613590
Also just using a pan is an option aswell.

pic related, the keurig 2.0
maybe one day you neanderthals will join the 21st century
>>61613700
It doesn't take 5 hours though unless you fill the pot all the way to the brim. Normally I fill them with the amount of water the cup holds plus half a cup to compensate for evaporation.
>>61613700
Guy, the kettle takes two or three minutes tops (unless you've filled it to the brim with ice cold water like a fucking retard).

>keurig
>proprietary software for boiling water
Yeah, no.
Plus, you get an absolutely HORRIBLE aftertaste with those things. Unless you're going to the trouble of cleaning the K-Cup holder, the lines, and EVERYTHING after each use, you'll always have an aftertaste of whatever the last drink was.
They're even worse in communal areas. Guy before you had coffee? Guy before him had hot chocolate? Okay, enjoy your "tea" with the taste of moldy water and hints of old coffee and American powdered "chocolate".
>>61613777
It's true. Unless you clean coffee makers constantly, the aftertaste is impossible to eradicate.
>>61613771
I do
>>61613700
Water kettles have like atleast 2000W,
assuming a water temperature of 20°C and a water mass of 500ml you would need around 90 seconds to boil the water with it.
>>61613771
Yes we do. I have never in my life seen someone use a kettle to heat water.
>>61613777
>and American powdered "chocolate"

Might I suggest the stove for pizza? I do a little oil in the pan and mostly cover it to trap heat above for melting the cheese. The crust becomes pleasantly crispy while simultaneously being rehydrated by the oil, though I do place it on a paper towel afterwards. It's a bit faster than oven as well.

Had it before and it's a bit sweet, but that's what you're looking for when you buy stuff from the US anyway.
