Heatle - An alternative to boiling water tap or kettle?


Recommended Posts

I'd probably keep on counter top so the kids would be at a bigger risk. I guess the problem would be that occasionally you might still want a whole kettle of boiling water (for mopping floor, general cleaning etc.)? Handy for milk for cappuccinos and hot chocolate ect.

So in effect an induction "rod" is it? Looks great until you trip and impale yourself on it.

Oh come on, surely you could re-engineer a portable induction hob to do this by Xmas 2024

Tempted to drop a table spoon into my favourite mug and chuck it on the induction hob here tbh...

Just tried it on mine, throws an error.

Even if the spoon were magnetic (is it?) 
Is there enough substance to it for the job not to throw a safety error? The base of the induction stick cannot just be there to stop it falling over.

 

Try a small saucepan in the bottom of a large Pyrex dish. (I am not trying this at home)

Probably all of the above.

 

I made a cuppa in about 30 seconds with my kettle.

My kettle cost a tenner from Tesco.

I am very dubious of any advantages.

Might be of interest if you're regularly trying to make drinks which need a particular temperature significantly below boiling - lets you just press a button rather than diluting/mixing. Pretty much all the other claims are greenwash though, and having to wash what is essentially your kettle (the stick) every time you make a drink sounds like a pain in the backside.
