  And make sure to get one with different temperature settings, not just boil.

  Being able to do 180° exactly instead of just guessing had 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?

      You can superheat water, but probably not that much at home.

      I actually looked for one in °C but the only ones I found had big stupid display screens. I just wanted one with 5-6 simple presets without adding unnecessary points of failure.

      To be fair, I didn’t look that hard though. I wasn’t willing to spend that much time and the place I order my tea from labels all the recommended temps in °F anyway.

  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.

      Not lifechanging because they’re all born with one.

        Legends say they have one in the womb with them, along with a couple boxes of Yorkshire Tea.

    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.

    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!

    • ByteJunk@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Oh, reduced the time by 8 minutes.

      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.

      Happy brewing!

  I would make the 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 👩‍🍳💋

  • HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

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

    I have a airfryer/ dual oven counter top that ibuse pretty much for every meal, I always just toss some veggies like potatoes, carrots, squash, broccoli, etc on the top oven and some protein in the bottom oven and it has a mode so they finish at the same time.

    For rice i just use the kettle to heat up the water while I rinse out my rice in a strainer, then pour the water in a pot and toss in the rice, once the water boils I turn it down to low, put the lid on, and set a timer for 18 minutes.

    We had a insta pot before and used it regularly then one day it just starts smoking and died, luckily I happened to be next to it washing dishes when it happened so I was able to pull the plug on it quick

  For 120v power grid systems these would boil water twice as slow. But still, the beat and most efficient way to do it.

  • Ledivin@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Still something like half the time of a gas stove and a quarter that of a coil
