Frequently Asked Questions
How does the immersion heater work for kashering?

Can I use this year-round or just for Pesach?
You can use the immersion heater year-round for any kashering needs. While it's especially popular during Pesach preparation, it's perfect for kashering overmount sinks, maintaining kashrut standards throughout the year, or any time you need to bring water to boiling temperature for halachic purposes.
How long does it take to heat the water?
The heavy-duty heating elements bring water to a rolling boil quickly and efficiently. Exact timing depends on the volume of water in your sink, and the temperature of water you fill the sink with. (We recommend letting the water run to it's hottest before filling your sink.) The heat resistant Plastic cover retains the heat in the sink so it comes to a boil faster.
