My stove has a power boil option for that. Do you typically use your kettle to boil water for cooking?

I typically don’t even keep track of how long it takes to boil on the stove. I just do the rest of the prep work.

Yeah, we use the kettle all the time, for quickly bringing water to the boil. Always for pasta. Sometimes for potatoes (though they are probably better gradually heated from cold).

A power boil option would be a decent alternative.

I'm probably just impatient, to be fair.
