You can have 240V outlets too... at least, a lot of woodworkers seem to install them in their garages. Are they legal in the kitchen?

Yes, but it's hard to find the 240V appliances here except for clothes dryers, ovens, or built-in ranges/cooktops. Since a full induction cooktop is very expensive, most people who have induction will have a single portable hob.
