    How does a kettle warm the water more evenly but a microwave doesn’t? When a kettle has it’s heating element only at the bottom but a microwave blasts the entire mass of water with energy because it sits on a rotating plate.

      Cold water falls to the bottom of a kettle and boils on the bottom. Microwaves can miss the bottom, possibly?

        Boiling water mixes itself, also: no

      Exactly because of that.

      Hot water moves upwards, and if you heat it from the bottom, you get a more even result than if you blast it from all sides.
