I just use boiling water for so much dehydrated shit in addition to making French press coffee or iced tea. Stuffing, instant noodles, oatmeal, whatever. Sometimes I also kickstart boiling water and then pour it into a pot. They’re just so much faster than regular stoves because of the way the heating element is placed.
No worries, thanks for listening! As with all these things the efficiency bonus is slight, so unless you’re a heavy user it likely won’t represent a saving vs. the energy taken to make the kettle in the first place. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
An infusion is, according to WordRefence, an herbal tea (tho technically speaking coffe is an infusion too). This might be just me being pedantic but in Spanish everyone says tea too and they could be preparing ginger or whatever other plant instead.
Thanks for the enlightening, now I understand.
Still microwave for me since while I do enjoy infusions I don’t make them that much to justify the expense and the extra stuff laying around.

You can probably find a second hand kettle for 5$ bucks. But if you don’t use it often, it might take too much space for its use.
But you already have the microwave, so unless your electricity is expensive, it doesn’t really make a difference.

Out of my own curiosity… what’s an infusion?

Sorry for the rambling. 😅
some cultures refer to aromatized or herbal tea as infusion
