    Does your microwave have an in-built thermometer which stops the heating at the right temperature like a kettle?

      Most Americans don’t get kettles with temp settings because we’re fucking plebs. Ask an American what they think a kettle is and 7 times out of 10 they’ll say it’s a busted, dented piece of metal with a strange flippy lid that their mom used to put on the stovetop for some reason.

      I mean, I’m not. I have one with 6 different temps on it. Because tea is serious business. But most Americans, you know. 😂

        We’re not exactly high-tech about it, our kettles are usually a basic plastic thing, and the temperature setting is just “if boiling then turn off”!
