I'm enamored with the idea of having an electric teakettle. It seems like 90% of the use of our (electric) range is heating water for coffee or tea. I probably heat up one element five or six times a day just for that purpose.
But I'm curious whether the teakettle would actually save energy over running a single "burner" (element) on the rangetop. I wouldn't even know how to find the answer. But it seems like it would -- do you teakettle users think it does?
Aside from the niceness of it, we're trying to plug lots of little energy-use holes like this, so I'm curious what you think.
