But some methods are more efficient than others. As Tom Murphy explains in this great blog post, electric kettles are significantly more efficient than stove-top kettles and microwaves. If this happens to you, be sure to dispose of your kettle correctly.

The element is sealed in the light gray central part and (if you look closely) you can just see its two terminals poking out on the bottom right. The darker gray rim (the bit my thumb is touching) is a rubbery-plastic gasket that seals the heating element inside the bottom of the kettle and stops water seeping through. The long tube at the top carries steam from inside the kettle down to a thermostat that switches the element off at the right time (as explained below). How efficient is a kettle?
