Are people actually using induction stoves for tea, though?

For me, a big selling point of the kettle is that you don't have to clean it and stow it after every use, so I would still use the kettle even if it was slower (maybe no longer for pasta or when cooking in general though)...

edit: I guess you could just get a teapot that is induction-compatible, didn't think of that.

You don't really have to clean a pot either if you just used it to boil water.

Mostly just descaling, but cleaning it with soap and water isn't going to do much about that - you need an acid like vinegar or citric acid.
