Mel,
I heard an ad for instant on water heaters on the radio here in
Mpls the other day. They are common in Japan and Europe. We never
boiled water in Mashiko (and the water is pretty good there!) We
just turned the dail to the boil setting.
Saves $$$.

When I redid our kitchen I put in one of those instant hot waters. My husband thought it was a needless expense; but being the good, well trained husband he is, he went along. Well, he LOVES that instant hot water! I use it all the time. It's a great time saver and probably an energy saver as well.
Regards,
June

I travel with the Hot Pot, a small electric heating device
that boils water in less than 5 minutes. I use it to make
soup cups. This would be a good alternative to the water
heater that fits under the sink.

Arnold,
The ones in Japan don't go under the sink. They replace the hot
water tank and reduce your gas bill.
What is popular in Japan are hot pots. They are electric, but
insulated. After they are hot, you unplug the cord and the water
stays warm.
I was happy to find that I was rebated 2 months electricity
on the budget plan because I use that much less electricty compared to
my friends that lived here before. My monthly bill has been reduced
to $44.00, and that is with increasing energy costs.
First thing I did was replace all incandescent lights with
florescent, except in areas where the lights are only turned on
briefly, like at the washer in the basement. Also, in the bathroom,
we have two lights, one on each side of the bathroom mirror. One
light is incandescent, for "brief" visits to the bathroom. The other
is florescent for longer visits and when you are shaving and need
both sides of your face lit up.
My gas usage is similarly reduced. In Japan, their carbon
useage is 1/3rd that of the average American, and I learned some
things while I lived there. I am thinking about a wood stove in the
house too. I do have a kerosene heater and carbon monoxide
detectors.
When Jean visited early spring and the thermostat was set at 60*,
I would turn the kerosene heater on in the kitchen for her, just the
way we did in Japan, and that warmed her up enough with her morning
tea.
I also have my hotwater set so when you take a shower, you
don't need to turn any cold water on. My 42mpg 15 year old Civic only
gets filled up once a month. Even as long apart as every five weeks.
I hope more folks start seeing city life as an alternative.
Conservation is the least painful way to deal with the energy crisis.

I had one of those things years ago. It had a thick coil, if memory serves me. It did work well. It would probably be a good thing for in the studio for making a quick cup of broth or other hot drink.
