Does water evaporate faster with lid or no lid?

Answer 1

Less heat will escape with the lid on. As the pressure inside the pan increases, the liquid boils faster - so both aspects combined makes the water to boil faster and save energy. Without a lid, the water won't boil as fast or as quickly, and more energy will be used.

Answer 2

Water evaporates faster without a lid because the open surface allows for more moisture to escape into the air. A lid creates a barrier that reduces the rate of evaporation by trapping the water vapor inside the container.

Answer 3

Water evaporate faster without lid.
