How long does it take you to boil a cup of water on the stove

———

boimgfrog

Like seven minutes

———

catsnraincoats

Just stick the mug on top of the stove on medium heat n it boils in like two minutes… less than that is u use a saucepan…

(Enter RADISHN’T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS’N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

RADISHN’T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

Of diff’rent flavours gained by simple act

Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

RADISHN’T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

Without the guide of others I assumed

That heat was merely added for the sake

Of expediting this solution’s brewing!

Half a decade I have spent, or more,

Not questioning this worldview I had made.

In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

Might have a patience of sufficient stock

To wait until a pot of water boils.

FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

The microwave will beep when it is done!

CATS’N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

That I have not the patience, like our Root,

To boil upon the stove our favour’d drink?

CATS’N: It takes less than a minute!

FROG: On what plate?

Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

CATS’N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

Of boiling but a single cup alone?

FROG: In minutes?

CATS’N: Yes!

FROG: I counted seven, once.

CATS’N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

If on a middle heat you place the cup

You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

Or even less, if you should have a pot.

FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

You place upon the iron stove a mug?

A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

How do these flames, though medium in height,

Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

KING: Ev’ry single person in this group

must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.

    Lol @ 115V with my 3kW kettle.

    If I could get a 3-phase kettle I would do it.

      I’ve barely had my morning potion, almost shopped for a 3 phase kettle thinking it was some new tech. Then I realized it was the wiring being referenced.

        3 phase is exceptionally rare in the US unless you’ve got a workshop or something, and even then some utilities will charge tens of thousands to run it.

        240V 200A service is the norm in most modern homes now, so the disparity really isn’t a big deal. Something that people rarely point out is that we do have standards for 16A 240V plugs, they’re just exceptionally rare. The cool thing is that because of the way our split phase system works, you literally just have to move a single wire and swap the breaker, and you can convert an outlet to 240V, assuming you also change the outlet to the 240V type so you don’t accidentally fry something.

        It’s kind of annoying that we never adopted some system where say, garages and kitchens were wired to have low amperage plugs with both voltages. I have a German friend that swapped a section of outlets in his house to 240V so he can use a bunch of his imported appliances, and it works great.

          It really is strange in the US how we have only utilized 240V for large appliances. It’s taken the power appetite of EVs to make extra 240V outlets start to be a thing.

          Fortunately, I have 220V (240V?) in my garage because the previous owner was a carpenter and needed the additional power draw. I think everything is also on a 20A circuit, so that’s nice as well.

          However, I don’t really want to run a tea kettle in my garage…

      The radar unit i was stationed with had 3 phase generators for the radar. When we plugged a kettle in it heated up so fast. Loved it for my cup of noodles.
