My only question, though, is if the pot is too heavy to move to the stove after filling in the sink, how does it work out when it’s full of hot food?

I am paranoid. Lived in older apartments when I was a kid, always told to run the water before using it to get the lead out. I still do the same nowadays. Run the water for 60 seconds before using it for cooking or drinking. So for me I'd end up running over to the sink with 3-4 full pots of water to dump out.
Also what happens when you leave water sitting in the pipes unused for 3-4 days at a time? Sediment and stagnant water sitting in those pipes can't be good for the taste of the food.
Luckily I have a small kitchen and the sink is 10' from the stove and I am young enough to walk from one side to the other. They should put in a drain at the stove though so that you can drain the water.
What problem does having one of these solve?
And "stale" is the nice word for it. Many plumbing fixtures are made of brass. Water sitting in the faucet, even over night, can leach measurable amounts of metals including lead. There was a study about this a few years back.quote:the slug of water in the line to the stove spigot gets a little stale
