I know it involves microwaves and that's all I can bear to remember
Microwaves are the practical answer, very ergonomic and efficient device that vibrates water particles. The most popular choice is to buy a separate electric water heater, followed by boiling water on the stove. People in america believe that microwaves are inferior and dangerous, ruining anything you put into it and giving you radiation poisoning -- which is just bourgeois nonsense.
I use an electric kettle for boiling water for tea/coffee, which is a common household appliance where I live. Microwaves are mostly used for reheating food, rarely beverages.
Yep. It's so weird to me that Americans don't seem to have electric kettles all that often, since they're quite common in a lot of places, including my country.
