For years, the only solutions to hot water were stove-top or microwave heating. Now, the American Standard instant hot water tank can deliver 190 degree water at your fingertips with no waste, use only what you need. The near-boiling water makes beverage and instant foods in seconds including tea, coffee, cocoa, soups, noodles, pasta, and vegetables. In addition, it may be used for many other household tasks like warming baby food and bottles or cleaning pots and pans.
