out of interest, is stove top more or less efficient than electric?
is that even possible to quantify?

answered my own question
- Electric kettles are slightly more energy-efficient, coming in at around 80%, vs 70% efficiency on the stovetop. However, this is evened out by the fact that gas is cheaper per unit than electric. Then you need to factor in the fact that stovetops take longer to boil water vs an electric kettle. On balance, it probably works out roughly the same, but perhaps slightly cheaper to use an electric kettle.

My induction hob is quicker at boiling water than my kettle but that's because the boost mode is 3.7kw or something.

Having a kettle that turns itself off is much more convenient though.

Yep.

I can't be trusted to remember I've put something on a hotplate and turned it on. I'm the most easily distracted "cook" in the world.

Presume you can get hobs with built in timers?
