Internal wiring of USA v UK mains plug

I think the UK definition means a container with a spout and handle. But most would consider it the safest way to boil water and fill a cup etc from it - saucepans are less than ideal for this.

If it were spaghetti, so it could be poured out of the spout?

If pasta is not aligned properly in relation to the Earth's magnetic field then it will not cook properly. That's why sometimes it comes out perfect and other times it comes out mush.

Why all the arguing? Just heat tha damn water in the microwave.

True audiophile pasta (that`s OFP) is time aligned and by the science of chakra, the molecules are arranged to that it not only cooks to perfection everytime but never ever sticks to the pan.

It is of course somewhat more expensive than the common or garden lo fi pasta.

The brits drink huge amounts of tea because their coffee is so bad.

Not since the 1960's. Of course I think there was good coffee long before then, when was Andalucci's (on Shaftsbury Avenue) founded?

Of course since London has as many Starbuck's as any other large city, you may be right. :-)

Interestingly, Coffee was commonly drunk in England long before tea became fashionable.

Looks just like many an electric UK kettle then - although jug types are also popular.

As I'd guessed. Dunno what Mr S Response was on about.

A "Dutch Oven" is a cast iron pot with a heavy cover made you use in an open campfire. You can use it as an oven to bake bread over a bed of hot coals. It can also pe used to cook soup, stew or Chili while away from a conventional kitchen.

There are a few of them who should get a mouthful of water, insert the tea bag, then microwave their heads. Instant tea, and one less troll.

There is the charming British expression "Oh go boil your head, Bertie."

Bwuahahahahahahaha!

Talk about waste. Ol' Gore would be over for a party to join you, if you let him have a news broadcast of how much electric gets wasted in UK kitchens, he'll fly over (wasting fuel) and have tea with you (wasting power).

You have never seen plastic come to a melting point on its surface, and stay that way for minutes until someone or something touches it and sinks the heat away?

Yeah, you did just s*it a pile, bully boy.

Looks cool, as well as fully functional.

Double overpriced, however.

Here, a kettle can be anything from a tea kettle to a giant two foot deep pot for LA Gumbo.

You have to cook it under your scaled replica Cheops pyramid at the one third height level, while wearing your pyramidal foil hat with Salvador Dali on the widescreen in the living room.

Don't forget all of the Mayan culture wall hangings.

If all else fails, read the instruction book. I didn't see anything in the cookbook about pots/pans, but according to Webster's Dictionary a kettle is a bowl shaped metal utensil. I take that to mean it has a rounded bottom, like what one would use for making witches brew. Probably not useful on an electric stove.

Describe the mechanism by which it heats.

Hint:

The word for today is hysteresis.

See? They were aHEAD of their time! ;-)
