My mother taught me this at the store when we were little. The lady next to us got this like...fucking sudden realization on her face and she checked her eggs as well. It was wild lol.

I mean like, imagine no one taught you when you were a kid, right?

That's how I feel about electric kettles. They're so damn useful.

Wicked useful but crazy high current drain, don’t plug one and an instant pot into the same circuit.

Or use a microwave, or hair drier on the same circuit as one at the same time. Unless you're in the kitchen I guess. Learned those lessons the hard way.

I like to preheat water for my electric stove in my electric kettle. So what if the microwave is also running? Ahh, the power of 230V.
