I have tried this in my own kitchen a couple of times. First, I looked at the wattage stickers on the appliances themselves. Then, in the 900W Microwave, I used two, large, cylindrical "coffee" mugs, approximately 4 inches in diameter. (10cm)A\ and a six inch (15cm) metal saucepan on the electric (glasstop) stove, with the 1800W 6" element. Using the mugs to measure the water, I start with the same amount of cold tapwater, and a cold stovetop and microwave. I observed that it usually takes about two minutes for the water to visibly boil in the microwave, and about 4 minutes for it to visibly boil on the stove. At five minutes, I then shut off the power on both appliances. The microwaved water has been violently boiling during a full three minutes, and the stovetop water, for one full minute. At power-off, the microwave water ceases to visibly boil almost instantaneously, while the stovetop water continues for almost 30 seconds. The steam from the stovetop water appears to be much more voluminous and profuse than the microwave water, even after power-off. I have no idea why. The two mugs together have approximately the same surface area as the saucepan, of 28 sq.in. total (180 sq.cm.) In conclusion, it would appear that the electricity used is nearly four times as much on the stove, when compared to the more efficient microwave. Assuming the wattage ratings are accurate indicators of consumption, the 1800W of the heating element, on high during four minutes, would constitute: (STOVE) -----------120 Watt-hours of energy with the microwave using only 900W during 2 minutes, for a total of only: (MICROWAVE) ------------30 Watt-hours of energy consumed. Divide each by 1,000 to get kWh
What else can I help you with?
What is the temperature of Microwaved and boiled water?
With the microwaved water, it pretty much depends on the microwave Owens temperature. Though boiling water is 100 degrees Celsius. (I would like to add): The water's temperature depends how long the microwave runs and the power of the microwave. However, if the water is boiling in the microwave, it is the EXACT same temperature as water boiling on the stove. The microwave is just another method of boiling the water.
What happens to the temperature of boiling water if you turn up the heat on the stove?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees celsius. The water will evaporate at boiling point. By the way what do you mean "what happens to the temperature of boiling water" if you think about it, it does not make sense.
Does higher boiling point evaporate faster?
Evaporation and boiling are the same process, liquid water is converted to water vapour. To convert from liquid to gas the water molecules have to absorb heat. The rapidly the heat is supplied, the faster the liquid water changes to a gas. In evaporation this heat comes from the air the water is exposed to, the surface the water sits on and the heat already in the water (hot water cools as it evaporates). This process is relatively slow compared to boiling water where a lot of heat is being put into the system by the stove or hot plate. It takes the same amount of heat to boil or evaporate the same amount of water. Boiling provides this heat much more quickly. Therefore boiling water evaporates much more quickly.
How does temperature change during boiling?
The process that occurs during boiling of liquid is energizing of water molecules (H2O) to give them excessive energy for excitement to change their form to gas from liquid. This energy can be provided by heating and electric current. In the liquid state, atoms and molecules are bound together by strong intermolecular forces as compared to gases.While boiling a liquid we provide heat to the molecules whereby their kinetic energy is enhanced and they now have enough energy to overcome the cohesive forces and escape from the liquid surface hence changing into gas.This process is called evaporation.
What are examples of heat?
The sun. A flame of any type. Boiling water.
When a stove is boiling water what type of energy transformation occurs?
When a stove is boiling water, electrical energy from the stove is being transformed into thermal energy as the stove heats the water. The thermal energy then causes the water to boil and turn into steam.
What form of energy does a saucepan boiling on the stove use?
The heat energy from the stove, which in turn comes from the burning of the chemical energy in the gas that is burning, or from the electrical energy, depending on the type of stove.
Is boiling kettle on a stove and example of energy transfer?
Yes.
Can I cook microwave popcorn on the stove?
No, microwave popcorn is specifically designed to be cooked in a microwave and should not be cooked on the stove.
Can you make microwave popcorn on the stove?
No, microwave popcorn is specifically designed to be cooked in a microwave and cannot be made on a stove.
Can you pop microwave popcorn on the stove?
No, microwave popcorn is specifically designed to be cooked in a microwave and may not pop properly on the stove.
Is it possible to cook microwave popcorn on the stove?
No, it is not recommended to cook microwave popcorn on the stove as it is specifically designed to be cooked in a microwave.
What makes it harder to boil water on a stove?
It can be harder to boil water on a stove at higher altitudes because the air pressure is lower, resulting in lower boiling point of water. This means that the water requires more heat energy to reach its boiling point compared to at sea level.
When water is boiled in a pan on a stove what energy is transferred?
When water is boiled on a stove, heat energy from the stove is transferred to the water. This heat energy increases the temperature of the water molecules, causing them to move faster and eventually reach a state of boiling where they turn into water vapor.
How can I install a microwave over the stove?
To install a microwave over the stove, you will need to first ensure that there is a proper space for the microwave above the stove. Then, follow the manufacturer's instructions for mounting the microwave securely to the wall or cabinet above the stove. Make sure to also connect the microwave to a power source and vent it properly to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Can an over the range microwave be used on a countertop?
No, an over-the-range microwave is designed to be mounted above a stove and typically requires proper ventilation. It is not recommended to use it on a countertop due to safety and functionality reasons.
