Please actually read what I said: there are differences in the appliance approval process which determines how much continuous power you can draw from an electrical circuit.

Why would a manufacturer bother trying to prove discontinuous draw when they can just current limit, use the same element they do everywhere else with the same resistance, and not worry about it?

I read what you wrote but still fail to see what it has to do with a claim that 1100W is the limit on US circuits and that is the reason Americans don’t use electric kettles.

Because that is what was being discussed.
