There are several different ways to boil water and many families live happily without a kettle, but here’s why you need one even if you don’t make tea often.
Alternative Way to Boil Water
If you need to cook something on low temperature, your pot may sit for on the stove for a long time before the water gets warm. Instead, you can boil some water in the kettle and add it to the cold water in the pot to speed up the process.
For Pasta When You’re Too Hungry to Wait
Similarly, a kettle can help you skip the waiting time for pasta cooking (or any other cooking). Instead of starting with cold water, you can pour hot water from the kettle into the pot and move from there.
To Make Coffee
If you like to experiment with coffee and use tools like a French press, you know they often require hot, but not boiling water, and you can achieve this in a few minutes with a kettle.
For Instant Ramen
You can make instant ramen in a microwave, but in case you don’t have room for one, a kettle will help you do the trick.
