When you boil potatoes does the length of time it takes to cook them depend on how vigorously the water is boiling?

Yes, they do. This is due to a property of convective heat transfer known as turbulent flow. Turbulent flow brings more molecules of hot water into contact with the molecules of potato over a given time period thus transferring more heat to cook the potato faster. Heat transfer at the molecular level occurs at a very high rate of speed so fluid dynamics of the boiling water has a great effect on the transfer of heat. Less turbulent flows, like simmering water, will transfer less heat than a rapidly boiling pot over the same time period.

∙ 12y agoNot really, in fact if you've pealed and cut the potatoes, it sometimes works better if the water is only simmering since it doesn't break up the potatoes as much.

Can you cook sweet potatoes wrapped in foil in slow cooper?
Yes, you can cook sweet potatoes in the slow cooker, wrapped in foil. The length of time it will take for them to cook thoroughly will depend on the temperature in the cooker and the size of the potatoes. It's good to add a little butter in with each wrapped potato to add flavor.

Hydrocarbon boiling points increase the number of carbon or decrease?
the boiling points decrease on hydrocarbons as the length of the chain and the weight increases. the melting points increase with length and weight increase. Hope this helps.
