Electric Dispensing Pot

Cool Tools reviewed the Zojirushi rice cooker, but I'm surprised you haven't listed Zojirushi's other essential kitchen appliance: the Electric Dispensing Pot.

Like the rice cooker, it's an appliance that EVERY Japanese household has. Its function is simple: it makes and dispenses hot water at just below boiling, as much or as little as you want. Perfect for a cup of tea or a cup of noodles.

We picked up the US version when we moved back from Japan, and it's performed flawlessly for over a decade. Lots of nice little touches -- Steve Jobs stole the "MagSafe" power cord from the Zojirushi -- it makes it easy to move the pot to the tap to fill it up.

You are welcome to insult a tool, but comments containing insults to individual people will be deleted. Corrections of fact are always welcomed, if stated politely. Recommendations of better tools are dearly wanted and may be elevated to the front page.
