    I presume you use an electric kettle, then?

    So you have it boil water by specifying the number of Joules to use? Or kilocalories?

    What even is this line of reasoning? Outside of a lab, I don’t need to know the amount of energy used to boil water. That’s the point. It’s boiling when it boils.

    And 100°C isn’t even the boiling point of water at altitude. It’s a totally arbitrary scale, not very useful in day-to-day situations.
