Likewise, I just need to find a kettle with a NEMA 6-15 plug

I'm OK with installing my own plug into an appliance, like the Brits used to commonly do for approximately everything.

But (and I'm literally splitting hairs here) I'd like to find a 6-15P that has a captive fuse (like US christmas lights have), first:

The 13A maximum that a British appliance expects as a maximum is lower than the 15- or 20- amp circuit breakers that are listed for use in the States.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to exist.

That was a good chuckle, thanks! The image of that honkin' big plug on a kettle is great!

Maybe you're thinking of NEMA L6-15 or 14-30 or something?

6-15P isn't big or honkin'. It is about the same size as a regular US plug, and differs mostly in that the contacts are just rotated 90 degrees.

If anything, it's a bunch smaller than what much of the rest of the world plugs their own kettles in with, like a British type G or a Schuko.
