Anyone got one?

My wife has developed a certain gleam in her eye which I blame on these
incessant cookery programmes.

Comments about instant death to the elderly or very young have so far
fallen on deaf ears.

You're talking about Qooker and similar?

http://www.quookershop.co.uk/

Yes. £1074!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well if you're forced into getting something like that TLC have similar
things for a mere £725 http://preview.tinyurl.com/ykf2enn. But don't
let her scroll down to the bottom of the page - "Hydro Tap Boiling and
Chilled Water" for £2101.

Advert in the Sunday Times magazine was getting a close scrutiny at
supper:-(

I wonder what impact hard water has.

You probably need the Anti Scale - Filter System, just another £203.00

Some of these devices claim a safety advantage with "No more dangerous
kettles". Apparently the theory is that someone putting their hand
underneath the flow gets it out again sharpish before too much serious
damage is done but if a kettle is knocked over instantly depositing
several pints of boiling water over the victim you're looking at a large
area of serious scalding. Sounds like a dubious trade off between a low
probability of a serious injury with the kettle against a much higher
probability of a somewhat less serious one with the boiling tap.
