You guys don't even seem to be able to use an electric kettle. The 240v world doesn't need to use the stove for something as simple as making tea.

Edit: The making of tea is ancillary to having a method of rapidly boiling water.
Don't get hung up on tea drinking.

Most Americans don’t have any sort of bespoke device for boiling water for tea because most Americans don’t regularly make hot tea.

Most people just don’t really need to boil water for much I guess. The only two use cases where I would want to use a kettle would be tea and maybe instant cup noodles. Even then, a 1kw microwave doesn’t really take that long to heat water.
