Here is a trick to cut the boiling time in half: heat one half of the water on the stove and the other half simultaneously in an electric kettle. That way you can pour twice the energy into the water in the same amount of time and it will boil in half the time.

Rate of heating is not the same as rate of cooling. Even, the cooling is exponential until a certain point. It freezes "faster" in that it reaches boiling point to freezing point faster but takes longer in the amount of minutes to freeze compared to already-cooled water.

If it were a real study you wouldn't have only one test plant and only one control plant. There are so many factors that could cause a plant problems which you'd miss if you only did this with two plants one time.
Also the commentary about microwaves making water "dead" and your body "not recognizing it" because the water's "DNA was corrupted" is so nonsensical it's not even worth addressing.

well not the most practical, but by far the most fun is an X-ray Free-Electron Laser it will heat liquid water on a femtosecond time scale when irradiated by single 6.86 keV X-ray pulses of more than 106 J/cm2 or in other words it will raise water temperature from room temperature to a massive 180,000 degrees Fahrenheit (100,000 degrees Celsius) in just one millionth of a millionth of a second.. or a Trillionth of a second..

the electric kettle also loses massive amounts of heat through the sides. The best way to minimize those losses is getting a super powerful kettle, like a 3000W one. The shorter the time it takes to bring the water to a boil the lower are the heat losses. Similar to how very powerful rocket engines save fuel over less powerful ones because they accelerate the rocket faster and it will have to spend less time fighting gravity.

dont put the salt in until the water has started boiling. Otherwise the salt concentration on the bottom of the pan can get so high that it will eat holes even into stainless steel over time.

That is bullshit. If electric energy is turned into pure heat the theoretical efficiency is always hundred percent. If one method is still less efficient than the other it has to do with other factor like lower power and such increased heat losses due to time, or the mass of the container. The article you posted didnt go into that at all, or what they used and how they measured. I hope you do not consider that bullshit a scientifically sound proof.

>An electric teakettle is about 80 percent efficient, although again this varies from kettle to kettle. Electric kettles are generally very well insulated, and the heating coils sit directly in the water, so less heat is lost to the air.
