This is the kind of ~~maddening~~ magical experience you lose when you get an induction stove.

Or an electric kettle. No idea why they’re so rarely used in the US.

Different mains voltage. ~~Europe~~ Most of the world uses 240v and the US 120v.

The formula for power dissipation is P = V²/R where V is voltage and R is resistance. So electrical kettles take more time to boil water in the US.
