THE COUNTRY KITCHEN CONSERVING RESOURCES
Amongst our commentators, consensus holds that those residing in rural areas tend to be more environmentally conscious than their urban counterparts, but both parties can benefit greatly from the installation of a steaming hot water tap. According to Jason Turze, Product Manager for Home Comfort at AEG, some steaming hot water taps use up to 50% less energy than a kettle to boil water. InSinkErator’s Linda Phoutthasak, Marketing Manager for Europe and Russia, maintains that replacing the kettle with an instant steaming hot water tap is a positive lifestyle change for any household, eliminating the time and energy lost waiting for water to boil in the kettle and providing the versatility to contribute to countless other tasks, from cooking to cleaning. As a market leader in steaming hot water taps and food waste disposers, which help to reduce the nation’s carbon footprint, InSinkErator® believes consumers are increasingly aware of the energy-saving benefits of highly efficient appliances, “especially those with large families who perhaps boil the kettle regularly or throw away a lot of food waste,” comments Phoutthasak.

“This offers a sustainable solution as well as a practical, contemporary solution to food waste. In addition, InSinkErator® food waste disposers are clean, hygienic, and reduce smells and bacteria in the kitchen.” Phoutthasak believes that country-style kitchens will continue to be popular, “however,” she adds, “subtle additions to classic styles such as efficient appliances and hidden technology are modernising the country kitchen while maintaining its comfort and charm. A modern country kitchen can be idyllic for homeowners who strive for a simple, classic style coupled with the benefits of advanced technology.”
