Larger the surface area of the pot that is in contact with the heat, lesser time it takes for water to boil.

∙ 13y agoThe smallest pot you use will boil it the fastest..
Not true my 15 yr old and myself just boiled 3 pots of water using small med and large pots and the largest pot boiled first the medium pot boiled second and the smallest pot boiled last.

∙ 13y ago-- If the water started out at different temperatures, the warmer sample
will boil first, even on the same size flame.
-- The flames may be set different, or the burners may be of different size,
affecting the rate at which heat is added to the water.
-- The shape and thickness of the pot may affect the efficiency with which
heat is conducted through the wall of the pot.
-- In a larger pot, more of the water is in direct contact with the inside of the pot,
which also affects the rate of heat-transfer from the wall of the pot to the water.
-- If the barometric pressure is different at the time of two trials, the temperature
at which the water begins to boil will be slightly different.

∙ 13y agoAssuming they're both using the same size/power heaters, there is more water to heat up, so it takes longer.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, the larger the surface area the quicker it will boil (i.e a large pan will boil quicker than a small narrow pan).
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoA little bit. A larger pan means it will take longer for the water to boil.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoIt's about the boiling point of water, not the size of the container. Water boils at 100 C (or 212 F) regardless of the size of the container.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoTwo reasons:
Pots are usually made of metal, which heat up fast.
Also, there is a larger surface area of the pot, so more water is heated up at the same time
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe boiling point is the same. The amount of time to heat the water to the boiling point is the variable.

How does the amount of water put into a kettle affect the time it takes to boil?
the more of an object the more the mass in witch takes more time to heat up.
What is the time needed for water to boil and the effect of adding salt?
The time needed for water to boil depends on various factors such as the heat source and the amount of water. Generally, it takes around 5-10 minutes for water to boil. Adding salt to water increases its boiling point, meaning it takes longer for saltwater to reach boiling point compared to plain water. However, the difference in boiling time is minimal and may not be noticeable in everyday cooking.
What does it mean when you hear the water in your car boil?
time to get a new one!
Does pasta cook faster when the water has already started to boil?
Yes. If you place pasta in already boiling water it will be quicker, because usually you time the cooking of pasta from when the water begins to boil.
What boils faster sugar water or vinegar water?
The liquid that would boil faster between water, water with vinegar, or water with salt would be water. I am sure because i did an experiment and i boiled these three liquids five time and averaged them. Water came out to be that it took the least amount of time to boil.
Given the same amount of water how does pot size affect the amount of time it takes to boil water?
The larger the surface area the quicker it will boil (i.e. a large pan will boil quicker than a small narrow pan).
Does the size of a piece of jelly affect the time it takes to dissolve?
The size of the jelly cube does affect the time it takes to boil as the particles are all different because jelly at that point is a solid so the particles are close and in order the more you have of it the more the heat has to dissolve, forming water particle's.
Does food colouring affect the time it takes for water to boil?
Food colouring does not affect how long it takes for water to boil. Both clear water and water with food colouring boil at the same speed with no real obvious differences in time.
How does the amount of water put into a kettle affect the time it takes to boil?
the more of an object the more the mass in witch takes more time to heat up.
It takes 3 minutes to boil 1 egg How long does it take to boil 3 eggs?
3 minutes. You boil all three eggs together.
Why does it take a less time to boil little ammounts of water?
It takes less time to boil little amounts of water because there is less water to boil. The more water in the pot, the longer it takes to heat up.
When you're making ramen noodle soup should you boil the water first and then add the noodles or boil the water and noodles at the same time?
you need to boil the water first then add the noodles
What is the effect of the time it takes to boil 16oz of drinking water by varying the temperature of the heat source?
If you increase the temperature of the heat source, you decrease the time it takes to boil the water.
Does water temperature effect how long it takes to boil?
Air pressure and moisture in the air can affect the length of time it takes for something to start boiling. But the affect would not be very high I must say, this is an interesting question. I do not believe that weather affects how long water takes to boil unless you are outside. I am not a physics professor, however.
What is the time needed for water to boil and the effect of adding salt?
The time needed for water to boil depends on various factors such as the heat source and the amount of water. Generally, it takes around 5-10 minutes for water to boil. Adding salt to water increases its boiling point, meaning it takes longer for saltwater to reach boiling point compared to plain water. However, the difference in boiling time is minimal and may not be noticeable in everyday cooking.
Does salt increase boiling time?
If your question means: If salt is added to water will it take longer to boil using the same conditions to boil fresh water? Adding salt elevates the boiling point of water so the mass of water has to be heated to a higher temperature to boil, therefore, boiling time is increased.
