does japan still even use these?
Big Brass Kettles
Christopher Sullivan
Juan Ortiz
i still see them in recent anime
Adrian Gutierrez
Who doesn't use normal kettles? What the fuck
Jace Kelly
but they seem like they would be outdated
Jackson Hill
I'm not Japanese and I do use them.
Aiden Price
idk, user. there are induction kettles and hot water dispensers now. these old ones just seem inefficient
Landon Jones
do you live with a big family? what your use case?
Christopher Scott
kettles dont wear out so replacing them is much much less efficient
Cameron Kelly
>outdated
compared to what?
Noah Thompson
anything's better at boiling water, really. the actual construction of cheap chinky gadgets is super inefficient though.

The large-capacity kettles currently available in Japan are made of anodized aluminum, not brass. Packets of green tea or barley tea are thrown into the kettle in boiling water.
Induction cookware has continued to spread in Japan for several decades, and aluminum cookware is often not available in the average home. And more than half of households use electric kettles.
Large kettles in the 6 to 10-liter class are probably only found at large events or in mass dining establishments that have been in business for quite some time.
Dominic Thomas
aluminum makes sense, very light. anything that size AND inductionable would weigh a ton even empty. i bet japs have a lot of the induction hot plates, they tend to have smaller than huge kitchen sized appliances generally.
Zachary Rogers
Even if Nobody uses them anymore it takes a while to catch up. Anime/manga are created by people in their 20s at minimum meaning something that isn't use will still appear in media. Same thing happens in the west
Adrian Perry
a electric one with something that tells you how much water is inside, generally a window.
Ayden Rogers
I live in nipland and I don't even have a fucking kettle, I heat my water in a pot like a savage.
That said, most houses I have went to had an electric kettle.
Lucas Sanchez
In some part of Japan, the large kettle setup double as a living room heater
Daniel Diaz
>induction kettles
They can be made of brass too. Most induction capable pots I've seen only had a induction capable plate in the bottom, while the rest of the pot was not magnetic.
Brody Watson
>anything's better at boiling water
No I doubt that.
copper pots are hard to beat.
results will depend on what you're using as a heat source though and electrical heating is one of the least efficient
Jeremiah Myers
Yeah, but people who like the look will still keep one around and pour the water from the zoomer gadget into it for serving.
William Scott
conduction is pretty low tier, maybe the only thing less efficient is microwaves or something but not by much.
Christopher Morgan
If you're talking about pure energy efficiency, sure. But the differences are negligible for a normal household's electric bill so people will still choose based on aesthetics and how it makes the water taste.
Jayden Green
Never heard about Japs Iron kettles?
