With only 360 watts, 'quite quickly' wouldn't be how I describe it. A

How long before electric kettles have switchmode power supplies?

Lots of options including charging up a local cap or battery and use it
to speed the boiling process well beyond what can be done with just
line power.

Sounds like a solution looking for a problem. ;-)

Now you Brits are attacking your own alleged advantages for the loop.
