      One of worlds longest running experiments is when an european tourist visited america and tried to boil water using a kettle and a travel adapter.

      The paper published on the experiment noted that water finally reached temperatures of 63c in 2017.

          Steam irons heat faster too, you know, just in case you need to iron your fancy shirt in a hurry before you leave, not that that would ever happen to me or anything…

          Btw do you have a big solar array or what is the inverter for?

            Yea, big steamer vs iron fan here. This will be for a van. A while back we aquired a mini van and through the magic of DIY it now has no back seats, a couch+bed, fold up kitchen and running water. We are very outdoorsy and like cheap travel, so we are doing some planning for potential next/future stage of life in something that could replace structural living 😉
