"It’s “magic.” I knew a girl in school back in the ’80s and her parents believed in magic. They were “right-hand path magicians” and hid stuff like this everywhere as part of “protection spells” or “prosperity rituals” so my guess is something like that. While I don’t personally believe in this stuff, I do think that if a person does really believe 100% that something works, it can, in a way, work. Mind over matter." © mrpotatonutz / Reddit

"I had one of these in my kitchen and I loved it! It was near my regular sink so I could pull the faucet head over to fill the “pot” then I would turn it on to boil the water. It has a pot that goes inside it that has holes in it — like a strainer. You put the strainer inside the “sink” and then toss the items that you want to boil inside the strainer and cover it. Once your food is cooked you lift out the strainer, flip the switch and all the boiling water drains out. The biggest advantage was not having to carry a large pot of boiling water over from your regular stovetop to the sink to drain out the water. I used it for boiling pasta, potatoes, corn on the cob and I loved it!!" © mpack4 / Reddit
