If you tried this in North America, it would take ages, with our lower voltage.I once heated around 3 liters of water at once with my coil

Old question, but I see that you're using your coil. I used it on several occasions to heat some canned lentil stew. I added just a little water to make it more soupy, but it worked fine. The coil got dirty, but once it cooled off, I just rinsed it off.Has anyone of you tried creative things with your coil? Like boiling pasta or rice, for example?
Seems odd.?. Back in New Zealand I kept a 12 volt coil in the glove box of my car, it used to heat a cup of water in about four to five minutes.If you tried this in North America, it would take ages, with our lower voltage.
My consultant electrical designer tells me that a 12 volt coil would be designed with different resistance so it can do its job. But you can't plug that into 120V or 240V!Seems odd.?.

But neither can you plug something designed for 120v into a 240v circuit. Well, not more than once....My consultant electrical designer tells me that a 12 volt coil would be designed with different resistance so it can do its job. But you can't plug that into 120V or 240V!
Correct. The typical heating coils that I have seen are designed for 120-240V.But neither can you plug something designed for 120v into a 240v circuit. Well, not more than once....
Interesting. Do you need to physically switch it over, or does it simply work on both?Correct. The typical heating coils that I have seen are designed for 120-240V.
(I was thinking more of the question of why a 12V one would work at all, when mine is noticeably slower on 120 than on 240.)
It works on both. One just needs the simple plug adaptor.Interesting. Do you need to physically switch it over, or does it simply work on both?
Curious. According to the internet, it’s no wonder it takes a whole lot longerIt works on both. One just needs the simple plug adaptor.
That didn't last long... I lost my good old coil that I had for more than 10 years. Bought the one on the photo as a replacement. After one cup of tea it stopped working...Hello Coil Club, greetings from Santiago de Compostela
