A WATCHED POT…

It always seems that when you want to boil water it takes longer and longer. Water actually boils at 212 F at sea level.

If you have a pot holding a gallon of water and place it into a range, it will take approximately 23 minutes minutes to bring to a boil if you leave a lid on.

If you leave the lid off, it will take about 35 minutes to raise the same pot of water to boil.
