Because our power is 110 volts and it takes forever.
You didn't watch the video, did you?
Not even a little bit
I didn't either, but this is the real answer
He commented without even watching the 25 minute long video? The nerve of this guy.
Honestly, that's a short video for this guy.
This is the primary reason. The microwave is faster.
Think about this: your microwave and a kettle can pull the same 1500 watts from the outlet. A kettle can nearly directly put that energy into the water with its heating element, heating it. The microwave turns that energy into microwaves via a magnetron that then heats the water. The microwave also has a fan to cool its electronics, lest it overheats. That's energy that isn't going in the water, but is enough to damage things.
Now, why do you think a similarly powered microwave could beat an electric kettle?
Also temperature is a state function. It doesn’t matter how you get it.
Faster than a gas stove.
