Install a tumble dryer socket in your kitchen. Then buy a British 240 volt 3 kilowatt kettle from eBay and wire on a US tumble dryer plug (NEMA 6-15) - hooking the brown and blue wires from the kettle to the two line pins.

This would be both code legal, safe and functional.

Sweet, I had no idea it would be that straightforward. Thank you for the information!
