Why does the water take SO ----ING LONG TO BOIL?!

**notnamed** · November 17th, 2008, 21:27

Old pots with bad heat distribution? Too much water?

**Ben** · November 17th, 2008, 21:30

Nah, I measured exactly 6 cups of water. Relatively new pot ... purchased over the summer.

**Nick** · November 17th, 2008, 21:44

Because you're looking at it.

A watched pot never boils... you impatient bastard.

**Dean** · November 17th, 2008, 21:45

Yeah I've noticed that too when I boil water.

If you put salt in it, it raises the boiling point - so only salt once its boiling.

**Ben** · November 17th, 2008, 21:45

I wasn't looking at it. I was in another room, checking every 10 or so minutes. Today it actually took around 30 minutes to boil.

Do you use an electric stove by chance?
