>No matter what model of stove or pot or starting temperature you have, water boils at 100C And? Does water boil instantly, or are there factors that can affect how long it takes to get water to boil? Things like, say, your stove, pot and starting water temperature. >You understand that it is physically impossible to have liquid water above 100C without applying pressure, yes? Wow, thanks for the physics lesson. I was referring to the OP stating "the process" takes X minutes from start to finish. Well, different stoves are going to heat water at different rates. Colder water from the tap will take longer to heat that warmer water from the tap. When I'm the one cooking my eggs, these things matter. Time-from-boil isn't relevant to me when I'm getting ready in the morning. Learn to tame your nerd-rage and give people the benefit of the doubt that they aren't as stupid as you think.
