Our European water kettle is rated 1700W (this one looks close), and I’m doing what you recommend when cooking soup or pasta, etc.: I put some water into the pot (often a big 5 liter one) and fill the electric kettle; once the latter cooks I pour it into the pot. Nice to hear that this actually saves energy.
To teach the kids the cost of electricity, I have put small stickers with the cost of the cooker, oven, and fridge. For example, the sticker on the fridge says: Short opening 1ct, not closing properly: 1€.
