travel kettles

[looobylooo]

didnt really know where to post this, hope here was ok..

travel kettles,
plugging into the cigarette lighter thingy in the car,
would the water actually get to boiling point in one of these little uns do you know, like a normal sized electric kettle?
thanks :o)

They do boil, but seem to take ages. Not sure if it's the ''watched pot'' syndrome, but I suspect the reason is simply that the element isn't as powerful as your domestic one.

BT used to supply them ... We had a 20 minute teabreak and it took 30 minutes to make a brew, lol

[looobylooo]

thanks naz,
lol, yeah ive just been reading up on them, and yes youre right, they take an age to boil!
it was going to be a present for someone, but i think i will give it a miss lol ;o)

For a 12V kettle boiling 0.25 litres of water from 15°C a typical time would be 15 minutes.

thanks scotman ... hmmm, 15 minutes? ... lol ... i think i will get them something else... ;o/

You could get a small, single camping gas stove and a little camping kettle available from most outdoor camping and fishing shops.

A camping gas stove probably isn't a good idea if this is for use in a car.
