pot vs. kettle

This guy over on Slate, who gets PAID to write such things I believe, does an article considering electric tea kettles. He picks a really awful looking unit called the Bodum Ibis, as the superior method for boiling water.

I have one lament: he pitted a single electric kettle against MANY other stovetop teapots. Okay, stack the deck, why don’t you? It would have been much more enlightening to have evaluated several different models of electric kettle alongside your one Bodum Ibis and all those expensive pots.

Idle carping, I know. But the guy gets PAID for this, and gets evaluation models of all these pots and kettles to boot, no doubt.

Where’s the fairness and impartiality we expect???
