On the recent long weekend, we again tied the record for the most full cooked breakfasts. We had a full house with 13 guests, so we had a look at beating the old one. While two people declined a cooked breakfast, we had our first double breakfast, serving both pancakes and bacon and eggs to a hungry and happy guest to equal the record.
We currently operate with two kettles in the big kitchen, both with a 1.8L capacity. We have removed the slowest kettle from the kitchen, but would love to have even quicker ones! Our own personal kettle can boil [from room temperature] 1.5L of water in 3:41. The two in the big kitchen take 4:37 and 4:42 - the slowest one took more than 5 minutes!
If you know of, or have a kettle that can boil 1.5L of water in close to 3 minutes or under, we would love to get a make and model from you! If you do go to the trouble of experimenting with your own kettle, make sure you post your time in the comments...

Ok.. I tried it. We have a Breville kettle and I got 4:49 click-to-click. The water was 19 degrees when I started - I tested it using Hayden's bath themometer.
My friend Sean thinks that using hot tap water would be a better use of energy (and give you faster results) provided that you have gas hot water.
Awesome... but was it only 1.5L?
Unfortunately all our water is heated with electricity... We do have gas for the cook top in the big kitchen though :D
I'm starting to think that under 4 minutes is pretty good!
