Yes and: Kettles are much easier to clean than microwave (interiors).



Well our kettle is 2.4kW, our microwave is 800W or so effectively. Also our induction stovetop is much faster, so the nuking option is slowest by a lot.


Boiling water in a microwave does not make the microwave dirtier.


In fact if it boils it can help clean it!


True. The mess comes from a son reheating food, often tomato sauce based, without a lid.


most lid are plastics, so i suggest people heating without lids. Cleaning mwave is east anyway. I am sure ppl don't want microplastic laden food.


Better that than reheating it in a kettle!
