Re: Electric boil kettle control
I had one of the 10,000w units and switched to the Stilldragon DIY kit and couldn't be happier. I had one of those eBay ones heat up like crazy and stop working (luckily without catastrophic consequences).

"Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain -
Quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe
