There is no way that makes economic sense. If this is a typical
European kettle it will draw about 2000W. Check what it says on the
kettle.
Trouble is that this is more power than an ordinary American receptacle
is rated for. (15 Amps at 120V = 1800W.)

it will work, but the transformer is still expensive.
If there isn't, you can call an electrician and ask him/her to install
a 240V receptacle in a suitable location. An American 15A 240V plug has
the prongs like this _ _ unlike the ordinary 120V version which looks
