Yes, I think that is what I have. I am not likely to forget the kettle however. I stand there over it while it is heating the water. It takes less than a minute to bring the water to an acceptable warmth level.
But I am not sure if what I am doing makes sense ecologically. I have to look at the whole picture. The basement water heater tank is 'natural gas' fired. The question is : is it less damaging environmentally to heat 4 litres of water with natural gas than 1 litre with electricity... What do you think?
My preoccupation may seem ridiculous to some, but if you multiply my situation by millions (number of people who wash twice a day with heated water), it adds up a lot.
