    Although i like things that are simple and just work, dont fix it if it aint broken, and hate over-engineered technology… It still is funny to me that if we want to heat things up, we do it by running current through a piece of metal. Isnt there a more efficient way? I guess not or we would be using it.

      Every other method is too unreliable. Sure, heating water by letting it sit in sunny weather is technically infinite efficiency, but the weather doesn’t care about your tea.

      Induction stoves and microwaves are improvements for certain scenarios.
