So, while reading through my house mags, I saw more than one "pot-filler." This is an extra faucet on a swivel arm that is mounted above the stove, so that you can set your pot on the stove and then fill it with water, and not make an extra trip.
I think this is brilliant, but it's missing something.
No matter what your reason for using a faucet over the stove to get the water in, it remains that you must get the water OUT somehow. If it's clumsy to get the filled pot from sink to stove, it surely can't be any more fun to get the filled pot from stove to sink, AND now it's hot!
So, what would be the ideal method for coping with the admitted problem of getting hot water to the stovetop containers, and then getting it out?
I think it would be interesting to have a sort of in-line water heater added to the pot-filler faucet; if it was specially marked (say, "BLAZING HOT!!!") and out of children's reach, there's no reason you couldn't start with extremely hot water.
Also, what about those old-fashioned hooks you used to see in fireplaces so that you could hang your cauldron of stew or whatever? One of those would be very handy (preferably with a neato set of pots or something) to help you swivel your pot of pasta over to the sink. Then you could add a sort of pot-rest thing to the edge of the sink, like a handle mounted to balance the corner of your pot on (I will draw a picture of this at some point when I am home because actually I really want one now), and tip it over slowly-- without having to hold the lid with one hand and the pot with two hands and get a facefull of steam more than likely.
What do you all think?
