I’m British and was shocked to learn that other countries don’t even have 3000W electric kettles.

Just put the kettle on top of your Intel laptop...

Our typical US 120V household outlets can't pull that much power. Most electric kettles here draw about 1.5 kW.

Could run a 240V circuit (or tap into the oven/range 240V circuit I suppose) and use an imported UK kettle. I've heard of people here actually doing this, but I can live with the slower boil times 😄

Just make a kettle with two plugs.

The limitation is usually the circuit tho. You couldn't use the same powerpoint block.
