The first time I ever used an electric kettle was in south korea for my ramen. I was like “man, when I get home I’m so buying one of these. 5 minute ramen is great.”
Then I got home and bought a kettle and it took for-fucking-ever to boil. 120v is such bullshit. Give me POWAH!!!
Technology Connections just published a video about this. By the end, he’s got an overclocked 6 kW tea kettle boiling water in under a minute before destroying itself.
It was early 2000s but power standards haven’t changed. 5 minutes is a long time when you’re used to 1:30 minute to boil. I meant 5 minutes from tearing the package to eating it not 5 minutes to boil but I can see how my phrasing was confusing.

Was this a while ago? I’ve gone through several on 120v and I don’t think it’s ever taken more than 5 min.
