Quooker
THE TAP THAT DOES IT ALL
The Quooker(Quick Cooker) was the very first boiling-water tap in the world and is well on its way to conquering the world. Since it was invented in 1970 by Henri Peteri, the boiling-water tap has become an indispensable tool in kitchens all over the world.

HOW IT WORKS
The Quooker system consists of a small tank in the kitchen cupboard that is linked to the boiling water tap on the worktop. The tank acts like a vacuum flask connected to the water mains. The air in the insulated wall is so thin that the heat is unable to escape.
It takes very little energy (just 10 watts) to keep the water in the tank at 108°C. The water only starts to boil when the tap is turned on and the temperature of the outflowing water drops to 100°C. While the water is flowing out of the tap, fresh water immediately flows into the tank.

THE BENEFITS OF A QUOOKER
There’s nothing wrong with the good old electric or whistling kettle. But when you list all the advantages of the Quooker including filtered cold and sparkling water, there's no competition. It’s a streamline look for any kitchen, removing the clutter and offering you a more valuable Worktop space.
BENEFITS…
• TASTY - An active carbon filter in the tank purifies every delivery of cold, hot, boiling and sparkling water.
• VERSATILE - Whether it is tea or coffee, blanching vegetables, sterilising baby bottles or even cleaning dirty pans.
• SPACE SAVING - A Quooker saves precious space on your worktop.
• TIME SAVING - As the boiling tank is constantly replenishing, you’ll always have instant, fresh boiling water on tap.
• ENERGY EFFICIENT - Anyone who needs boiling water several times a day will not use more energy with a Quooker than with a kettle.
• SAFE - It‘s impossible to turn the boiling water on accidentally. It requires a double- push and turn on a ring mechanism.
• WATER EFFICIENT - You use the exact amount of water you need. Unlike with a kettle, whereby people often boil more water than needed.
