downdowntogoblintown asked: Regarding cooking with kettles -- You can boil eggs using a kettle if you have a netted bag or something else mesh to keep the egg in. Put the egg in the bag, submerge in water, boil for around ten minutes and you've got a hard boiled egg! You can do pretty much any food that needs boiling the same way, as long as the kettle isn't terribly small and the thing you're boiling isn't terribly big.

Nifty! I might grab a few packs of boil-in-the-bag things.
