Edit: I hasten to add that it’s not about electric kettles not being a thing there—though don’t get a 15 A kettle or you’ll be sitting around forever—it’s that boiling a litre or so of water is a specialized thing and you have to want to do that a lot to buy a single-purpose appliance. I could make a similar remark about how most Australians don’t have a rice cooker.
