When all you have is an electric kettle, you can still boil eggs. Take advantage of the kettle's ability to boil water in a flash, whether you're in a fully-equipped kitchen or somewhere with fewer amenities. With no pot to watch, all you need to do is set a timer and you can scoop your eggs out after the appropriate time. It's so convenient, you may never want to use a regular pot to boil your eggs again. It works best on smaller quantities of eggs, so if you're cooking for a crowd, consider a different method.
