    Most residential outlets in the US are going to be a 15A limit. You also have to reduce that by 20% for a continuous draw.

    UK might be able to get away with the full usage because their plugs are designed to have a fuse built in. Not entirely sure on that, though.

    That said, kettles are still a better option most of the time. Technology Connections has real world tests of this.
