For years, I thought an electric kettle sounded like a dumb idea. Just put a kettle on the stove. But, then I gave it a try. We love our electric kettle. We use it all the time. I would say a minimum of three times a day and easily five or six times. I like that I can walk away and I won't set the house on fire, okay, burn the kettle. I have burnt more than one regular kettle.
Mine will do smallish amounts of water and I think it has about a two litre capacity. Sure, I could use the microwave, but then I am guessing how long to set the MW to. I can tell my electric kettle what temperature I want (in 10°C increments) and it will beep and turn off when it gets there.
We elongate our espressos with hot water from the electric kettle. We make pots of tea with hot water from the electric kettle. When something is cooking and needs a bit more water, hit the button on the electric kettle and quickly have boiling water to top up whatever.
