Chefman counter-top water heater. It's not the worst crime I perpetuate while making tea.
*kettle, honestly forget it's not a global thing. How much does one set you back? We can get one for like £5 in the uk?
I can't call this chefman thing a kettle, but that word is used here. It's more a boil-and-hold urn like you'd see on a meeting-room sideboard with some bakery treats. Like I said, it doesn't make a great cuppa, but I'm already a heathen before this point anyway. I'll boil some proper water if the Yorkshire comes out, though.
Amazon basics, stainless steel 1liter, $21
I “splurged” on a cool looking glass one that lights up when in use for $30, during Covid. I was concerned I’d never use it and I really don’t, but one of my teens drinks tea and the other is always up for hot chocolate so it’s gotten plenty of use
