We boil them in a pot on the stove.
Or as you britbongs say, "take your eggy-weggs and put them on the boil"
As soon as they reach "the" boil, you shut off the heat.


You see, we American's do not need to boil water all of the time, because we are not legally required to drink tea every single day at exactly 8 bongs in the morning and 4 bongs in the afternoon.

We actually got sick of that shit pretty quickly. So the last time some faggot said "OI COLONIST. ITS 4 BONGS ON THE CLOCK. GO DO YOUR CIVIC DUTY AS AN ENGLISHMAN AND GO DRINK YOUR TEA" we said fuck you and threw your shite tea into the ocean. The fish hated it too.

look mate it boils down to this; we live in the 21st century. Gone are the days of arduously waiting around a stove for a gallon of water to boil. Whether I want a cup of tea and mug of coffee or just some hot water to add to my pan of noddles I can boil three litres of water in a minute or two, costing me only a couple of movements. In an age with the internet no developed country should require a stove to simply boil water.

I own one and it boils water just fine, takes like a minute or two at most to boil an entire kettle's worth. Most Americans just don't see the point of it because most Americans own stoves and that boils water quick enough.

[Anonymous No.9251917]

>boils less water if you want it more quickly
>more quickly

lol - 'quicker' I think you'll find.

It's nice to have because it saves time, its saves energy and takes up less space. In my office at work theres two cheap kettles and that sorts everyone out for drinks throughout the day saving space. My kettles at home allow me to boil water quickly in a vessel thats easy to transport.

Hot drinks aren't necessarily needed pal but we still fucking drink them yeah. Electric kettles are cost effective (cheap ones cost about £10) and save time and money therefore making the process of boiling water on a stove redundant.

[Anonymous No.9251970]

>>9251917
"More quickly" is grammatically correct friend, it's a matter of dialect. It's not wrong, even if it sounds odd to you.

It does save time, yes, but the time saved just isn't worth picking one up for most Americans. It's a minute or two at most saved. It doesn't take up less space, it takes up more, because again, most people have stoves and pots already. Unless you're taking this as a "you can only have a kettle or a stove", in which case, why? Most apartments I've lived in come with some sort of electric burner and microwave, offices too usually have a burner. Ease of transport I'll also give you, it's a hassle to pour out of a pot if you don't own the type that has that little indention channel off the lip to make it easier, even still it's not that hard.

You can make hot drinks with a stove, my point is that it's just not worth it to most Americans to just go waste money on something they can already do to save such minor inconveniences such as 2 minutes a day. Kettles don't even use more or less energy generally, that's how boiling the same amount of water works. A pot on a stove will have the same amount of heat loss as a cheap kettle, in fact a microwave is probably the most efficient way to boil water.
