It's not. Boiling water with 110V power works just fine.
Electric kettles are are slower on 110 but way faster than electric(non induction) stove
We have keurigs now ๐คก
(They can dispense plain hot water)
Is there a generic (non-brand) name for these boiling-water faucets? (That's not a mouthful like "boiling-water faucets"). I think we call them quookers here, which is also a brand name, and I slightly dislike that practice. I mean, "brand name for generic thing" is very common, but the brands and things differ per country, so it's like a layer of jargon to decipher.
I dont think there is. There are, however, actual instant hot-water dispensers you can install as an extra sink faucet and they are amazing.
