Its purpose is to make filling pots and other containers easier, and it’s a must-have for any home chef who spends a lot of time perfecting meals. Here are some benefits you’ll enjoy after installing a pot filler faucet in your kitchen.Reduce\u00a0MessPot-filler by Towne Post Network is licensed with CC BY 2.0The sink seems to be the place in the kitchen that gets dirtiest the fastest. While you’re cooking, it fills up with used dishes. When you need to squeeze a stock pot in there to get water, things can get messy fast. The pot might bump into those dirty dishes, or you might accidentally splash water all over the place.Sometimes you leave the sink on while you turn around to do something else, and the pot you’re filling overflows. If it’s balanced on the edge of the sink because there’s no room for it anywhere else, you’ll reach for the mop before you can finish crafting your meal. Filling a pot at the stove reduces the potential for this mess and means you’re free to fill the sink with dirty dishes. As soon as you experience this convenience, you won’t want to go back to your old kitchen setup.Multitask\u00a0EfficientlyGood cooks know how hard it is to time a meal perfectly. You want everything to get done at just the right time so no dishes are cold or congealed when it’s time to serve them. Having to move from the stove to the sink to fill pots while you’re also sauteing vegetables or reducing sauces makes multitasking more difficult and puts your food at risk of burning.Because\u00a0it’s\u00a0impractical\u00a0to\u00a0have\u00a0a\u00a0sous-chef\u00a0in\u00a0your\u00a0home\u00a0kitchen,\u00a0a\u00a0pot\u00a0filler\u00a0faucet\u00a0is\u00a0the\u00a0next\u00a0best\u00a0thing.\u00a0Stick\u00a0the\u00a0pasta\u00a0or\u00a0the\u00a0potatoes\u00a0on\u00a0the\u00a0stove\u00a0to\u00a0boil\u00a0at\u00a0just\u00a0the\u00a0right\u00a0time\u00a0without\u00a0taking\u00a0your\u00a0eyes\u00a0off\u00a0the\u00a0meat\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0frying\u00a0pan.Add\u00a0ConveniencePeople\u00a0who\u00a0love\u00a0to\u00a0cook\u00a0know\u00a0how\u00a0amazing\u00a0it\u00a0is\u00a0to\u00a0have\u00a0gadgets\u00a0that\u00a0make\u00a0the\u00a0task\u00a0more\u00a0convenient\u00a0and\u00a0enjoyable.\u00a0Instead\u00a0of\u00a0focusing\u00a0on\u00a0doing\u00a0things\u00a0the\u00a0hard\u00a0way,\u00a0you\u00a0can\u00a0enjoy\u00a0the\u00a0parts\u00a0that\u00a0make\u00a0it\u00a0fun,\u00a0such\u00a0as\u00a0trying\u00a0new\u00a0flavor\u00a0combinations\u00a0and\u00a0recipes.\u00a0All\u00a0kinds\u00a0of\u00a0gadgets\u00a0exist\u00a0to\u00a0add\u00a0convenience\u00a0to\u00a0the\u00a0kitchen,\u00a0from\u00a0food\u00a0processors\u00a0to\u00a0electric\u00a0kettles.Because\u00a0so\u00a0many\u00a0recipes\u00a0start\u00a0with\u00a0a\u00a0boiling\u00a0pot\u00a0of\u00a0water,\u00a0the\u00a0pot\u00a0filler\u00a0faucet\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0feature\u00a0that\u00a0will\u00a0make\u00a0your\u00a0life\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0kitchen\u00a0so\u00a0much\u00a0easier.\u00a0If\u00a0you\u00a0have\u00a0your\u00a0pots\u00a0and\u00a0pans\u00a0hanging\u00a0from\u00a0a\u00a0rack\u00a0above\u00a0the\u00a0stove,\u00a0imagine\u00a0reaching\u00a0up\u00a0for\u00a0one,\u00a0popping\u00a0it\u00a0onto\u00a0a\u00a0burner,\u00a0and\u00a0filling\u00a0it\u00a0with\u00a0water\u00a0right\u00a0there.Increase\u00a0SafetyWater\u00a0is\u00a0heavy.\u00a0One\u00a0gallon\u00a0of\u00a0water\u00a0weighs\u00a0more\u00a0than\u00a08\u00a0pounds.\u00a0Carrying\u00a0stock\u00a0pots\u00a0full\u00a0of\u00a0water\u00a0from\u00a0the\u00a0sink\u00a0to\u00a0the\u00a0stove\u00a0can\u00a0cause\u00a0muscle\u00a0strain\u00a0or\u00a0even\u00a0back\u00a0injuries.\u00a0Plus,\u00a0if\u00a0any\u00a0water\u00a0spills\u00a0out\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0pot,\u00a0it\u00a0can\u00a0create\u00a0a\u00a0slip\u00a0and\u00a0fall\u00a0risk.Families\u00a0with\u00a0small\u00a0children\u00a0will\u00a0especially\u00a0understand\u00a0the\u00a0necessity\u00a0of\u00a0kitchen\u00a0safety.\u00a0Adding\u00a0a\u00a0pot\u00a0filler\u00a0faucet\u00a0means\u00a0you\u00a0won’t\u00a0be\u00a0transporting\u00a0pots\u00a0from\u00a0the\u00a0sink\u00a0to\u00a0the\u00a0stove\u00a0while\u00a0the\u00a0kids\u00a0are\u00a0underfoot.\u00a0The\u00a0reduction\u00a0in\u00a0potential\u00a0kitchen\u00a0accidents,\u00a0whether\u00a0those\u00a0be\u00a0slips\u00a0from\u00a0spilled\u00a0water\u00a0or\u00a0injuries\u00a0from\u00a0heavy\u00a0pots,\u00a0are\u00a0major\u00a0points\u00a0in\u00a0favor\u00a0of\u00a0pot\u00a0filler\u00a0faucets.Choose\u00a0FunctionalityYou can have a pot filler faucet that’s mounted on the counter next to your stove, called a deck-mounted faucet, or one that’s mounted on the wall above it called a wall-mounted faucet.

Even if they aren’t, a professional will know exactly how to extend your existing pipes during a remodel. While pot filler faucets are traditionally installed over the stove, you don’t have to place yours. Over the counter next to the stove can be just as convenient, especially if you get one with a long arm that can extend where you need it.Upgrade\u00a0AestheticsPot filler faucets are attractive upgrades that give your kitchen a professional feel. When it comes time to sell your house, it’s the kind of detail dedicated home chefs will notice. Because you can get them in a variety of styles and finishes, it’s possible to match your current aesthetic or create a statement.Plus, whether your kitchen is big or small, filling pots, kettles, and watering cans is easier at a faucet dedicated to this task than it is to maneuver these containers into the sink. Home design trends are all about a nice blend of convenience and aesthetics, and pot filler faucets hit both marks beautifully.Allied Plumbing & Heating Co provides you with a cultivated selection of pot filler faucets to ensure you get the design that matches your kitchen and has the functionality you need.
