I still reckon it is funny you guys keep mentioning scorching a liquid.
Totally defies the laws of physics.
As for the build up on the kettle elements, just give them a clean after every use, no drama.
4 brews down now and absolutely zero problem using kettle elements. No overheating of cords, no "scorching" of wort. I even run them on the same circuit without hassle. It actually gets so much of a boil that I can turn one element off during the boil.
