Hey, you know what's a great addition to any kitchen? https://i.imgur.com/rI2MudF.mp4 Apparently they're called "pot fillers" and, according to google, they're incredibly popular with the runaway greasefire crowd. Sure, you could fill that big pot with a few trips from the sink with a nice safe jug, or you could put running water directly over your stove

Megillah Gorilla posted:Yeah, I'm still gonna stick with not putting a tap directly over a stove Are you aware that carrying a pot full of water to the stove also means maybe spilling water onto the stove? Carrying a pitcher of water over to fill your pot on the stove also means maybe spilling water onto your stove? Maybe in both cases a higher risk of doing so because you're carrying something heavy?

I think pot fillers are kinda dumb because you have to carry the full pot to the sink to empty it anyway. I don't think they're concerning in terms of grease fires though.

The guy in that KIF took more time filling that pot than it would take me to fill one in the sink and lift it on the stove.

When I redid my kitchen I considered a pot filler for a minute til I saw they were about 3x the cost of the matching faucet. One would be convenient, but not $700 convenient. Are they at least free of the flow restrictions they mandate on kitchen faucets now? Because that was the one thing I hated about upgrading from an ancient faucet to a nice new Kohler: taking twice as long to fill up a pot with water for pasta, canning, or home brewing.

The first time you have to clean cooking smoke grease off that tap will wipe out the accumulated time savings from its entire working life. Also I can't help but think teenagers are going to unintentionally ruin it by using it to take some of their weight while they want for their ramen pot to fill.

Just take the aerator off. I leave mine on the "hand washing" sinks and take them off all the faucets that you actually want full water flow on.

~Coxy posted:Just take the aerator off. I use it for both though. The aerator does give you nicer pressure/feel for washing your hands, so I guess a high flow aerator would be the better choice. When I first got it I thought I read somewhere that there was a flow restrictor either somewhere inside the faucet, or on the inlet or something...

If I had one, I’d use it. But I can’t really justify spending hundreds of bucks to install one just so my lazy rear end doesn’t have to carry a pot 3 feet from the sink to the stove.

Yeah if it was like a 80-150 fixture I could easily roll into a remodel we'd totally use the poo poo out of one. Not really motivated to spend much more on one however.

Unless you have Havel's Greatkitchen and need to walk 15 feet to the sink, I can't see how a pot filler would be useful. Also, if spillage is a concern, just fill the pot at the sink before you turn the stove on??

Also, if spillage is a concern, just fill the pot at the sink before you turn the stove on?? 4 gallons of water is quite heavy. Also, the pot doesn't fit under the faucet so you have to use the sprayer to fill the pot. Pot fillers are the norm in commercial kitchens. They do sit above potential sources of grease fires. The trick is to not turn them on over grease. No harder than not throwing a glass of water on hot oil. You can see in the video that it requires two valves to turn it on. I would love a pot filler. For canning it would make life so much easier.

In the context of a $25k kitchen remodel, a $600 pot filler is not a huge expense. I don't particularly want one myself, but I can see the appeal, especially for someone elderly or with an injury or disability who struggles to carry heavy things... although the whole "then what when it's time to take it off the stove" thing does still happen, so, yeah. It's just, people freaking out because of the grease fire danger are being silly.

Pots didn't fit under my old faucet, so I got a new faucet that I don't hate for about $150.

Never considered those sorts of applications; my cooking doesn't usually involve needing to fill up 4 gallons of water! I wouldn't wanna heft that around either.

Yeah y'all, realize pot fillers aren't for bipping out 2 cups of water for your ramen, they're for filling bigass soup pots that are legitimately a pain in the as to carry when full.

i think you'll find soup pots are generally lighter by the time you're ready to take them to the sink or fridge. Since, you know, people are eating from them.

Isn't the biggest cost of a pot filler the fact that you have to run plumbing to a spot in your kitchen that previously had none?

Correct, running plumbing behind an existing back splash would be a fortune. Installing a pot filler on a new construction or a complete remodel is when they make sense. And the issue isn't with people using them as fire suppressants, but people getting distracted and overfilling. Nothing like overfilling a pot, having to clean it up, and trying to figure out how to lower the water level in the pot to a usable state without more water everywhere.
