I used to microwave water for all sorts of things before getting an induction stovetop.

Seriously, it goes from tap water to boiling in 2 minutes. It's a game changer.

Induction hobs I think are still less efficient than an electric kettle, right? Correct me if I'm wrong. (I have both but I don't have the know-how to measure the effect of either. Just what I've heard.)

It would be interesting to test. quick, someone poke Technology Connections.

If you have both, and a timer on your phone, should be easy enough to check. Put the same measured amount of water in both and see how long it takes to boil.

Right. The hob needs to heat up entire surface of your cookware, and kettle transfers heat directly from the element below to water - only then some of that heat is dissipated.

Yeah I meant efficiency, not effectiveness. Like power consumption vs time.

I think it's this one?

Not how induction works.

Induction directly heats the bottom of the cookware (as opposed to regular hop heating the surface which then heats the bottom of the cookware), and from that bottom the heat is transferred through the entire volume of your utensils. And then food is heated off that.
