Try doing it with incandesent light bulbs. You'll do your head in quicker.Im just using a simple power saver deceive to measure the amps/voltage and an ammeter to measure the resistance.
The cold resistance can be different than the hot resistance. Under what measurement conditions do you measure high resistance with a high current?........................i have gotten kettles with high resistance but also high amps. How exactly is this possible?

Good point. That would account for the high resistance with high amps with high resistance, since the triac would give a high resistance reading to an ohmmeter.A "smart" kettle may use a triac for temperature control, and thus will not be always full on like a light bulb.
