No need.Hi.
As a constant drinker of tea, I wonder if it is cheaper to boil a mug of water in the microwave or in the electric kettle? The kettle requires a couple of mugs-worth of water each time to cover the element so I know there is wastage there.
Has anyone got a smart meter or one of those unit-measuring gadgets to check this out?
Much obliged,
G.
I think it can be dangerous to boil water in the microwave.
If you take a cup of water out of the microwave, that has just been boiled, and then throw a spoon into it, the effect can be quite explosive.
...
We should accept that once boiled the water in the kettle will be sufficiently hot for a long time to make repeated cups of tea within, say, a 15 minute period at least. And yet I know I will be the first to press the power switch for my second cuppa immediately after my first (I drink a lot of tea). It's all habit.

No way.. the water will only stay hot enough for 30 seconds or so, any longer than that requires a re-boil...
After 15 mins the tempature of the water would probably be <85 or 90 degrees!
I also hit the button far too much.. even if it has only taken 15 seconds to get the cup and t-bag I will also re-hit to get the water totally boiling...
