I thought maybe it could use a capacitor or something? I'm not an electrical engineer -- all I know is we have half the voltage here, and I've seen things like USB plates before -- the older type of USB... and USB C can power a laptop.
So I thought, since the English love their goddamn tea so much, they'd probably have a USB-C teakettle if such a thing is possible, and then I wouldn't need an adapter (if an adapter is even possible for higher voltage appliances like that).
Mine takes four minutes. Minutes are short in the morning in America :-(
A capacitor is too small but you could imagine a kettle with a battery to deliver more power than it can get out of the wall.
I shouldn’t have been snarky about your USB-C comment. I’m sorry.
