> Whenever I cook on gas, I miss the fast-heating of induction for things like pasta or potatoes.

In the UK, every kitchen has a fast-boil kettle (and has done for decades now) and those still boil water faster than an induction hob.

US kettles are much slower than UK kettles though, due to the voltage difference in the power outlets.

I think it's current rather than voltage, but I believe I the US the power is two phase AC with 240V usually available for kitchen appliances etc. I wonder why they don't make that available for kettles? It's really convenient and very efficient.
