I use a travel kettle, it takes a bit longer than a domestic kettle to boil but are you worried about a minute or two when you are on holiday?

I tend to boil mine before I need it then when I am ready to make a pot of tea it just needs reheating which does not take long.

Aldi are doing a Travel Kettle next Thursday £9.99 rated at 1500watt so 6amp ish. which is quite EHU friendly, and will boil a lot quicker than your usual Travel kettle.

What about a hob kettle? We have had the same one for 10 years - think we got in in ikea and you can put as much or as little in it as you like and it is really quick to boil with no worries about ehu. we had it when camping and had the most basic one ring burner and now we use it in the van. smaller to pack really than an electric one. just a thought!

ooohh im thinking about getting one of these now as sometimes im goin ehu and sometimes not and these state you can use them on electric hob and gas. which one do you have ltinker?

anyone else got these and is aluminium or stainless steel best- can you use both materials on either hobs (gas/ electric), anyone know how long they take to boil?

many thanks
