Throw away your kettle! (Quooker UK Ltd)
Every now and then a 'vital' new kitchen appliance comes along which changes the face of cooking. Trend-setters buy it, their friends see it and immediately want one, kitchen designers and chefs recommend it, newspapers and magazines review it and eventually it becomes a 'must have' in every kitchen….
The Quooker boiling water tap is one of those rare 'must haves'. This simple, ultra-safe idea immediately renders kettles out of date and takes kitchens a giant leap forward. Although it's new to the UK, over 100,000 kitchens in Europe already depend on their Quookers for instant boiling water.
Ultra-convenient, ultra-safe with a built-in childproof safety mechanism and brilliantly energy-efficient, Quooker’s unique compact under-sink tank still leaves ample space for waste disposal and ancillary storage.
The Quooker also offers a wide range of height and handing adjustable tap designs for contemporary and traditional kitchens. The stainless steel tank has revolutionary vacuum insulation and thermos technology, making it highly efficient to run, cool to the touch and allowing delivery of boiling water at 100 degrees unlike any other hot water system in the world today.
And the applications are endless. Quooker users still come up with new ones. The most obvious one is making a cup of tea and the latest addition to the list is poaching fish. Of course you can also fill up a pasta pan, blanch vegetables, heat up plates and serving platters, make coffee, prepare baby formula, peel tomatoes, remove candle wax and much more. All done in a moment and with boiling water of 100ºC! After all, only truly boiling water is good enough for the perfect cup of English tea.
Energy efficient.
With an electric kettle, you often heat up much more water than necessary. Often too, the kettle boils, gets forgotten and then has to be boiled again, wasting yet more time and energy. With the Quooker, on the other hand, you heat up exactly the amount of water you need and due to the patented high vacuum insulation, the energy consumption is only 3 pence per day.
Safe.
In Great Britain, stronghold of the electric kettle, this everyday kitchen appliance causes thousands of accidents every year, many involving young children (Source: RoSPA). The Quooker, on the other hand, comes with a tap which is securely mounted to the worktop, has a child-proof push-and-turn handle and is double-walled. As another safety feature, the water comes out of the tap in a fine spray rather than a solid jet.
Water saving.
When you boil water in a pan or electric kettle, you usually heat up much more water than needed. With the Quooker, on the other hand, you use only the exact amount of water you need at that moment.
Space saving.
Kitchen tops are meant to be work surfaces, but nowadays they are getting more and more cluttered with appliances - from electric kettles to juicers, espresso machines, blenders etc. By rendering your kettle (and possibly even a couple of other appliances) redundant, a Quooker tap helps liberate your worktop! Also, Quooker’s compact vacuum insulated tank fits neatly under your sink, still leaving cupboard space for other necessities.
Time saving.
We all lead busy lives and research shows that in the past 15 years, the time available to spend preparing a meal has decreased from 60 to 30 minutes. Without the Quooker, it takes 10 minutes just to heat up a pan of water for your pasta. With the Quooker, you can start boiling your pasta immediately… and at the same time blanch some vegetables, boil some eggs and prepare a bottle of formula for the little one.
The operation of the Quooker
The Quooker system consists of a small tank under the sink which is connected to the boiling-water tap. This tank is connected to the water by a so-called inlet combination. The water is heated electrically to approx. 110°C and is kept at this temperature. When boiling water is drawn off, cold water flows into the tank at the same time and is automatically heated. Before the water leaves the
tank it is purified by the HiTAC® water filter (High Temperature Activated Carbon). If the entire content is used in one go the heating time is ten to fifteen minutes, depending on the electrical power (see technical specifications). Different tanks are available: the PRO3-VAQ (1600 W) and the PRO7-VAQ
(3000 W). All Quooker taps are fitted with a childproof push-and-turn handle and are also vertically adjustable and insulated.
