Instant Boiling Water Tap: Your Best Friend in the Kitchen
In our time-poor world, we are all looking for ways to work smarter, not harder. While efficiency and effectiveness are usually associated with the workplace, they are just as essential at home to help us tackle all those everyday chores and tasks quickly and easily. A boiling water tap is an amazing way to change your life in the kitchen, with uses going well beyond a convenient tea and coffee. Read on for some of our favourite boiling water tap tips and tricks to streamline your kitchen tasks.
Save Time When Cooking with a Boiling Water Tap
So much time is wasted in the kitchen waiting for pots and kettles to boil. With an instant boiling water tap, you can reclaim all that time. Filling your pots with boiling water exactly when you need it is fast, convenient, energy-efficient and saves you the mental load of juggling timing when cooking.
Boiling Water Tap Hacks
Instant boiling water from a tap is great for many kitchen tasks.
- Need a hot knife for cutting butter and cakes? Simply fill a mug with your instant boiling water tap and dip it in to warm it up (resist the temptation to stick the knife under the tap itself – safety first!)
- Make a quick cheat’s bain-marie for melting chocolate or making scrambled eggs. Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of water filled from your boiling water tap. Make sure the bowl sits above the water.
- Instant noodles really can be instant with a boiling water tap! Fill and go.
- Make better stock for cooking when using stock cubes or powder. Hot water from your boiling water tap helps dissolve the stock quicker than cold water.
Super Simple Steaming
No more juggling timing the boiled kettle for water top ups when steaming dumplings or vegetables. Just throw in a splash from your boiling water tap when needed! Likewise steaming veggies is a breeze. Boiling water on tap means you can get them cooking in no time. You might even find yourself eating more greens!
Savoury soups and stocks in a flash
Spice up the mid-afternoon slump and swap your tea or coffee for an instant soup. Boiling water on tap makes it easier to adjust the temperature of your soup or stock. Whether you're making miso, bone broth, or any other type of soup, boiling water on tap makes it easier to adjust how hot you want your soup, with boiling water and cold water coming from the same tap.
Something sweeter?
If you have a sweet tooth, an instant boiling water tap makes all your favourite treats easier too. Make a delicious instant mocha, combining instant coffee and hot chocolate powder in the bottom of a mug with a splash of boiling water from the tap. Stir well to combine, top up with more water and finish with your favourite milk. Instant coffee can be elevated in the same way.
Health Hacks with a Boiling Water Tap
A boiling water tap is also really helpful when you or your family are unwell. Create a quick steam bowl for inhalations when congested, with some instantly boiled water in a large bowl with a few drops of eucalyptus oil. Make a quick sterile compress for healing styes and soothing ear infections by running a flannel under the boiling water tap using tongs. Air dry until cool enough to apply to the affected area. Soothe aches and pains with hot water bottles filled directly from the boiling water tap.
Sterilising baby bottles and feeding utensils becomes a breeze with a boiling water tap.
