I usually microwave a mug for 1.5 minutes, but this could also be nice

I remember Technology Connections doing an episode on the Electric kettle. Its fascinating. Microwaving is still the fastest around the house, but I like being able to make more than one cup at a time.

I actually did a little research and apparently it’s sacrosanct to a Britton to even suggest heating water in a microwave.

You are correct. I had a British coworker. He gave me the fish eye when I did it the first time. I personally don’t care as long as it gets hot.

I think you mean “Sacrilege” or maybe “Sacrilegious.” That means “The violation of something sacred.”

Sacrosanct means “sacred and beyond question,” which is related, but kind of the opposite of what you mean.
