@DrWorm After the water is boiled, it’s kept hot at a preset temperature and ready to use as opposed to waiting for a kettle to boil. Call it a convenience appliance, if you will.
We used a thermostat-relay from amazon with the hot water pot. Probe drops in through the lid, and it maintains the temp you set +/- 1 degree for as long as wanted. Hot pot was ~$22, the thermostat-relay $24, and it also works with the old manual switch crock pot for sous vide.
@HemlockTea
Are you willing to settle for some clever techie rigged getup instead of a Zojirushi? I’m not, but then I have no soul. I traded it for Zojirushi-lust.
@HemlockTea It was handed down, the bottom half use to be a bit more vibrant but it was accidentally thrown into a dishwasher and got faded. It’s not my favorite gourd, mainly because of the stainless steel (burns my fingers sometimes) but it’s my work gourd because of the stainless steel (in case I forget to clean it).
@DrunkCat Here’s my work “gourd” The bombilla was was given to me from a coworker who went to Argentina. I got a traditional one at home with silver around the top.
Re zojirushi anything
/giphy want want want want want
@f00l Hehe, the movie Bedazzled is so fun and goofy.
Yep, they’re very convenient. I have several of them myself. Stick with Panasonic or Zojirushi; the lesser brands don’t hold up.
(Most expensive was $15; least was $3 w/o the safety cord … which I found for $0.50 in a different thrift store.)
@narfcake
Can I just setup a dedicated pipe between my location and your damned overstocked luxury S California thrift stores?
Ship me the next thrift store working zojurushi anything you find that’s working. I will double the sale price plus pay shipping/handling.
/giphy over-privileged
@narfcake Honestly my only complaint is how magnificently expensive they are new.
Want so bad. I have a Zojirushi rice cooker. I married it.
@HemlockTea
Reader, I married it.
/giphy married it
@HemlockTea I really love the little songs for when the rice is started/finished.
@metageist Me too. It sings to me while it makes my porridge
I’m totally ignorant. What does this do that heating water the old fashioned way (or the less old-fashioned way of a microwave) does not?
@DrWorm Let them blither blather it gets them out of the basement
@DrWorm Be glorious.

Call it Sweetness and Light

@DrWorm You can also adjust the temperature of the water- lots of teas are supposed to be made with water below the boiling point.
@DrWorm On-demand hot water at the temperature best for whatever you are brewing! I hope to be rich enough to have one for every room in my house.
Your Zojirushi is cool and all, but I want a Balmuda please…

@duodec That sounds terrible.
@duodec That sounds wonderful and perfect for poor-man’s sous vide!

@f00l No, not for hot water on demand, but as far as I know Zojirushi doesn’t make a sous-vide set-up…
If you can find one of these, get it! Zojirushi is quality.
The blade on it is so good, the ice texture is better than any other shave ice I’ve tried.
@bluebeatpete The Japanese know their shaved ice!
I forgot to say that that is an awesome yerba mate cup.
