Cheapest way to boil water

jnn

Just checking this subject because my electric kettle broke on Christmas Day - luckily I keep a very old kettle that I brought out of retirement to use on the hob & it was surprisingly quick to boil. Now deciding what replacement to buy! Thanks for the advice - one tip I can give on how to save on disinfectant is when I've just boiled a kettle of water I usually pour any excess down the sink - it seems to keep it clean & free of blockages.

walk to the chippy. You could have been there and eaten, in the time it takes to worry about boiling the water.

Quite. Crazy that this is even questioned.

I don't know what is cheaper but I do know what is faster and more convenient, an electric kettle.

Fill and forget, whereas a pot on a gas cooker takes ages and produces steam and condensation and you have to watch it.

Also if there is not a lip on the pot you have to pour boiling water into a jug then into the cup to avoid getting boiling water all over the place.

After having no electricity for most of a day that's what I had to do.
