Most kitchens in China do not have a hot water supply. In fact, many homes do not contain the necessary to supply hot water on demand. My kitchen is no exception though I do have a shower unit in my bathroom that generates it.
Because I feel the need to wash my pots and pans in scolding water (instead of the standard cold water rinse they get here) I bought a bucket, a posh one with a lid.
Now then; the hot water supply is in tha bathroom and therefore that's where I leave the bucket.
Otherwise when you next go to fill it you'll be fishing out used toilet paper!
