Hot water dispenser units, typically installed under the sink is one of the cornerstones of the contemporary American kitchen. This article is a brief review of these units, their functions and their history.
An instant hot water dipenser is a built-in water heating unit that is installed under your kitchen sink and dispenses instant hot water at 200°F from a special faucet. It mainly consists of two parts. The first part is tank that heats the water and keeps it at boiling temperatures. It is connected to a open-vent faucet with hoses. What makes a hot water dispenser faucet different from ordinary faucets is it controls the water coming into the tank as well as the outgoing boiling water. Cold water is allowed to go into the tank only when hot water is being dispensed. This is a critical feature for maintaining the pressure at managable levels.
There are various other appliances that bear the name instant hot water dispenser, both in USA and throughout the Anglosphere and some of them have a very similar function to the appliance discussed here. For instance, the kettle-like devices named hot pot or thermo pot in USA, are called hot water dispensers in UK. These are portable units that must be manually loaded with water. They keep all of the water or part of it in boiling temperatures and release it into a cup or pan at the push of a button. Thermo pots have their own advantages such as mobility and not needing any installation but at the end of the day, they need a lot of manual action to use and they take space in your kitchen. They are not in accordance with the American concept of built-in kitchen appliances.
Not surprisingly, hot water dispensers with faucets were first built in USA. InSinkErator, a company that also made the first garbage disposal was the pioneer of hot water dispenser industry. The dispensers were available to the commercial market in 1970’s for the first time and gained rapid popularity, eventually becoming a part of every kitchen. Today, InSinkErator is still one of the leaders of the industry and hot water dispenser reviews laud its products as the best of its kind.
If you do not already have a built-in hot water dispenser, you should start considering getting one because it can make cooking a joy for real. People who have had them for some time cannot stop reiterating that they would never go back to the kettle and those who try them for the first time are astonished that they have managed to live without it for years. That said, getting an instant hot water dispenser is big decison because it needs you to drill a hole in your kitchen counter that will never go away. So, you must check out different products before you purchase and make sure you have read the warranty and the manual as well as reviews about the unit you are planning to get.
