Or alternatively, assuming the same current (10A) is drawn by the kettle,
then at 110V the power would be approximately half - therefore taking a
significantly longer time (my Physics tells me it won't be double, but I
couldn't tell you exactly how long !) to boil the kettle.
But of course, it is the Current that kills you - not the Voltage.

Somewhere in the shed I have a version which is 12V - for use in cars.
Basically a sheathed spiral element that you just dunk in a cup or pot.
Slow, but effective.
It surely is not the voltage! :)
