Yep. I’ve got 2. One in the house for hot chocolate, and one in my woodshop for um, woodshop things.
Comment on Why don't Americans use electric kettles?

I’m also a woodworker. What do you use a kettle for out there? Mixing your own shellac or wax something?
BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I mainly use it in the winter as a source of hot water when I’m working with 2 part epoxy to warm up the bottles so it isn’t as thick and mixes easier.

Shellac dissolves quite readily in alcohol at room temperature.

Yeah even with our slow, low wall-voltage, having a dedicated boiler is fucking nice. Takes up some counter space, but it’s worth it.
Cocoa, tea, coffee, whatever - it’s nice. And the vibe is nice.

I thought for a second that you said you boiled coca cola

Not less bad then the acrual written thing.

Cocoa? In a kettle?
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 months ago
Lol not IN the kettle, but made with the hot water you get from the kettle

I only know both in the form of milky chocolate.
And some are intended to be stirred into water because it contains powdered milk.

Agreed, works well for serving dried oatmeal to a table as well - the bottom doesn’t get quite as hot as a stove kettle or microwaved container.
Most of my friends have electric kettles. I like a nice pot of tea or french press of coffee / yerba mate yet I still have an auto espresso machine.
