A stove kettle is generally less energy efficient than an electric kettle. Misconceptions and debates abound on the issue of whether an electric kettle or a stove-top kettle is more efficient at boiling water.

Generally electric kettles seem to be the most energy efficient, but the most cost-efficient method may be a gas stove, depending on local prices.
After all, it is not a new fad to want hot â¦ water, in the old days people would keep a kettle on the fire, but we don't usually have fires these days, we use electricity or natural gas. What is a waste is to fill the kettle if you only want enough water for one or two drinks. Just put in enough for what you intend to use and that is not a waste. You can work out the energy used by looking up the rating of the kettle in watts, and timing how long it takes to boil, and working it out in KWh. How many ways does a kettle waste energy? At least 2 ways, Sound (kinetic), heat and sometimes light.
