    Old pots with bad heat distribution? Too much water?

    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.

    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.
