FabSwingers.com forum: Boiling Kettle

Inspired by a another post got me thinking about how many minutes we wait for the kettle to boil....

And what do you do in those few minutes. Do you;

1- Stand and wait for it to boil?

2- Go off and do something else

3- Put the kettle on thenforget about it

For those who say 2 what are the typical things you do while you wait?

Added up over the week that's a lot of minutes

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon

This morning it was a combination of 1 and 3 for me. Put the kettle on, stood there and floated off into a daydream, then the sound of it boiling woke me from said daydream, I picked up the mug and went to the garden for the coffee drinking.

Without actually putting the water into the mug. Only realised when I wondered why my hand wasn't getting warm around the mug.

Singing to the choir there sister!

Although I did once start with. Atea bag and end up with a weird tes/coffee hybrid because I went into auto pilot and put coffee in the mug, forgetting I'd wanted tea.

I think maybe I need someone to make my hot drinks for me...

Put teabag and sugar in cup, get milk out. Faff(a wonderful pottering faff at that) . Pour water into cup. Gentle squeeze of bag against side of cup. Go for a wee. Faff some more. Look out the window. Water the plants. Put teabag in bin, pour milk into cup, take cup outside to the balcony. People watch and look at the sky.

And perve on Fab.

Mine is a "fast boil" kettle. I pour in just enough water for each cup I am making. If it's just for me by the time I fill cup with milk and tea or coffee it's boiled in a minute or so.

Always something to do in the kitchen. I kind of like the kettle boiling as it gives me a target to get something done. I’ll clean inside my microwave or wipe over the washing machine or sleeping with the enemy the inside of my cupboards or just play with my bunnies as they normally hang around in the kitchen.

Kind of a 2, I usually have a small task in hand to do nearby whilst it's heating. I only heat up the required amount of water needed, so I know the time for it.

And, afterwards I add just enough water for the next time, so it absorbs the heat, saving it from waste and to make the next kettle use quicker.

I used to use the corner of my kitchen worktops and do tricep dip exercises. Sometimes I just nibble on something. Also I like to just open the cupboard or fridge and assess what I have/May need. Read the nutritional information or ingredient list of something.

Ive burnt a couple of kettles with that one on a gas hob metal kettle.

I have to use an electric one then 3 comes into it again so end up doing a 1 instead.

number 3 for me 3- Put the kettle on then forget about it

Ive burnt a couple of kettles with that one on a gas hob metal kettle.

I have to use an electric one then 3 comes into it again so end up doing a 1 instead."

Sounds like you get in a bit of a tizzle with your kettle!

I don't have a kettle. I have one of those thingies that delivers a cup of hot water in seconds.... soooooooo

I push the button, put the button under, open the coffee n put a spoonful in the cup, then screw the lid on the coffee and put it away while the water finishes splurting.

Job done.

My Own Little World

I only put the minimum in the kettle as I'm the only one in the house who drinks coffee/tea.

So I put the coffee n sugar in the mug while waiting, wipe down the counter because I am the only person in the house who is qualified to do this apparently

Little pottering about chores while I wait.

I don't drink tea so I hardly ever boil a kettle.

My usual scenario is somebody asks for a cup of tea so I put the kettle on. Either that's the last they ever hear of having a cuppa or I say to them that it is their responsibility to remind me at the appropriate time that they asked for tea because I'm just going to forget all about.

I'm just not programmed to think that I want tea and ending up with one. Getting a brew with me is hit and miss.

I eat the biscuits I got out to go with my cup of tea. Then when the kettle boils and I make the tea I'm sad that my biscuits are gone, so I have another one to go with the tea.

I don’t drink tea much at the moment.

I use a Nespresso machine which is super quick, I also had loads of credit on my account that I hadn’t used so bought their super fancy barista milk frother......it’s great fun to watch

I need to upgrade to a bean to cup machine. The milk frother is fantastic and the coffee is great, but it’s not fresh ground beans....

Thank you for re-confirming what Annie does haha she can make brownies. They looked good, but could you do the taste test sometime and let me know. For the record I don't have a microwave and flicking through TV channels can be a good use of time because it saves time later!

I am sat here with a lovely cuppa and dunking biscuits so thought let's have a catch up in here... how come Mabel gets a lovely reply for forgetting about the kettle

When I bought my new kettle I used to just look at it because it turns blue when switched on! I know I know it's the precious moments in life like that

But if I said that, you would have been "tut tut" and kissing your teeth... not the kind of kisses I like btw ... did Mabel put a spell on you with her wand?

Don't make me get my wand out! Nah I wouldn't want anyone to spit their beverage out

"I can do all three to be honest, but if I go and do something else it could be anything, but sometimes even if I'm still in the kitchen listening to it boil I'll Still forget

I think the word I'm looking for is ditsy

I think it's being a busy lady having a million and one things floating around your head xx

I am sat here with a lovely cuppa and dunking biscuits so thought let's have a catch up in here... how come Mabel gets a lovely reply for forgetting about the kettle

When I bought my new kettle I used to just look at it because it turns blue when switched on! I know I know it's the precious moments in life like that

But if I said that, you would have been "tut tut" and kissing your teeth... not the kind of kisses I like btw ... did Mabel put a spell on you with her wand?

Don't make me get my wand out! Nah I wouldn't want anyone to spit their beverage out

*sits down* I'm sorry....

*clocks biscuits* what you got??

*sits stares*

Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe

For my 1st coffee of the day I put the kettle on then prepare my breakfast whilst the kettle boils - usually a slice of toast or a bowl of bran flakes.

For my 2nd cup, if it's a weekday, I put the kettle on at 10.25am, go for a pee, then make my coffee and sit down for PopMaster. I'm working from home and using my dining table as a desk so I use this time as my morning break.

Haha you have it all worked out to the minute

Bill, can you please do me a favour and tell MissD above you it's rude to stare

Us ordinary blokes from the Midlands need to stick together otherwise we will have no biscuits left! I would tell her myself, but I did the double dunk and biscuit fell in! My timing was off so need to sort this mess out

I normally wait till the kettle boils, ofteb by standing near watching and trying to reassess my life in the time it takes to do so, but then the kettle is done so I have a nice brew to make and distract myself with

2 then 3, then 2 and again, 3 again, then eventually 1 because I’ve already had to boil the kettle twice and I still don’t have a coffee

Not sure if this makes me weird, but I'd have poured the water out after second time and boiled new water

#1 normally, as I’ve got a one cup kettle so it boils fairly fast.

No it doesn't make you weird because I know plenty of people that do that including myself at home. It's just a habit I have... instinctively pick up kettle to replace water. I also know many that don't especially when used to be in office environment. Kettle filled to the max and people would re-boil till someone couldn't get a full cup so would have to refill. Ah the good old days when you used to go into work

Did you get what Jamie was saying 1st time? Because I was scrolling up and down trying to figure it out! 2 then 3... then 2 and 3 again or was it 2 again and 3 again... then 1 ... now i'm feeling dizzy! Heads gone again

"Usually go off and do something else, get distracted and forget about it until half hour later

I'll do all sorts from washing, washing up, cleaning the bathroom, referring the kids. Depends what needs doing

This is me too! I put the kettle on, go off and think about Llamas and chips then forget completely that I put the kettle on then wonder where the tea is

Hahaha yup, both of the above for me...or make it then wander off before wandering where the tea is, remembering it has been made but now cold and then having to put it in the microwave...to then wander off and forget again

Thank you so much to this study into human nature. Adam will collate the results and input the data into a bar chart! - my favourite chart type.

Nobody said they sing while waiting for the kettle...

Or do sudoku....
