    Surely stirring the water in the microwaved mug and giving it another round easily solves this issue.

      Ideally 2 to 3 rounds, yes.

      But at that point, isn’t it easier to just buy a kettle? It doesn’t require such manipulations, costs next to nothing and allows you to rapidly boil up to 1,5-2L (0,4-0,5 gal) of water for all your needs.

      There’s a good reason most of the (Western, at least, dk about other places) world uses them and considers them a basic piece of kitchenware.

        In the US, kettles are supposedly much slower than a microwave or even a hob due to their grid.

          Fair enough; but even then, American kettles can boil water at a very reasonable time (3 minutes for 1,5L?)

          Still, I can understand how that extra minute alters the choice for many.
