>kettle provides temperature control
Mine's just on or off with a (non adjustable) bimetalic cutoff so you're either dumping 2 kW or nothing
>faster
probably, but you can microwave a single cup (0.2 liters or even less) while at least with my kettle you need minimum 0.5 liters just to submerge the heater (you're gonna fuck the heater if you run it with less water) so for a single cup of tea or coffe or whatever you're throwing away more than half the water (0.3 liters or more) you just heated to boiling hot
>smaller
microwave + kettle is definitely not smaller than just the microwave
>easier to clean
Why would you need to clean the oven after heating water?
>safer
I assume this is about the "exploding" water cc Autismmaxxing Schizo Weebcel (npub1sal…w3z7) what's actually happening there is that it's heating above the boiling point without any nucleation sites to actually start boiling so when you put a spoon or a tea bag or whatever in it all starts instantly boiling at the same time. From fucking wikipedia because I'm too lazy to type:
*Superheating can occur when an undisturbed container of water is heated in a microwave oven. At the time the container is removed, the lack of nucleation sites prevents boiling, leaving the surface calm. However, once the water is disturbed, some of it violently flashes to steam, potentially spraying boiling water out of the container. The boiling can be triggered by jostling the cup, inserting a stirring device, or adding a substance like instant coffee or sugar. The chance of superheating is greater with smooth containers, because scratches or chips can house small pockets of air, which serve as nucleation points. [...] There are ways to prevent superheating in a microwave oven, such as putting a non-metallic object (such as a stir stick) into the container beforehand or using a scratched container. To avoid a dangerous sudden boiling, it is recommended not to microwave water for an excessive amount of time.*
Aka it can happen but if you stir the water to introduce some bubbles and then leave the spoon in it should be fine (this is just my opinion, if you get burned don't sue me pls 🥺)
Another thing I forgot to mention, kettles can only heat pure water while a microwave can heat pretty much anything that is conductive
To conclude, who gives a shit about kettles, get one of these stick shaped things that directly pass mains voltage through the water, dip that into the cup, takes way less space than a kettle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS4GTACKETg
