Of course not. It'll never boil if you watch it.
Boiling is a proxy for gets-hot-fast which is useful.
- asdff 5y agoBut like how useful is that even? That's what I take issue with. All this cost for a pan to heat up 2 mins faster. So many products in this world exist to simply to add a crumb of convenience and imo something like a pan heating up slightly faster is one of them. It's like, did we need to spend this engineering effort (which is a finite skilled resource) making something 5% more convenient? Did I really need to spend all that money on 5%? On something that I already don't think much of at all? That I didn't even consider a problem until a tech blog or whatever wrote an article about it? Capitalism is truly a bizarre system.
