Hot water

Lindsey Bareham provides a daily Dinner Tonight piece in The Times

For some reason which I am completely unable to fathom, the instructions are always to use a kettle to boil the water needed for cooking vegetables etc. Why not just bring it to the boil in the pan?

Yesterdays instructions went even further. We are to boil beans in ‘salted boiling water from a kettle’

I hope she is not one of these people who thinks it a good idea to take the water from the hot tap
