When you boil potatoes will your cooking time be reduced with vigorously boiling water instead of gently boiling water?
Yes, but not dramatically so. The movement of the water is convection, which improves cooking efficiency. The size of the tater is the biggest factor, so cutting them into smaller pieces can cut the boiling time in half using full boiling water versus whole potatoes in a gently boil.
Tip- Use a larger pot and cover it. The extra water makes for better potatoes, and the lid makes up for the reduced efficiency due to larger volume. Also a bit of oil or butter will help reduce foaming.

Why are cooking materials made of stainless Steel?
prevents food sticking on the cooking materials, distributes heat well cause of conduction, and it will also be more durable instead of other materials
What is boiling point of water at 6000ft?
The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees F). The boiling point depends on a substance's vapor pressure, which in turn is dependent on pressure. So, at significant altitude (reduced pressure), water's boiling point drops. Decreased pressure at altitude lowers the temperature of boiling water by about six degrees C per 1000 meters (or about two degrees F per 1000 feet). This general formula can be used to estimate the boiling point at your altitude (for areas below sea level, add instead of subtract). For this reason, boxes of foods with boiling instructions will usually give 'high altitude cooking instructions.' The reason is that the temperature of boiling water is precisely 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and this is the temperature that the usual (sea level) directions expect. If the actual cooking temperature at your location, say at the top of a mountain, is only 192 degrees, then your food will need to cook significantly longer, if cooked 20 degrees cooler. This is also where the concept of the pressure cooker arose; cooks found that they could cook food hotter and faster using water, if the container was airtight enough to allow pressure to build.
How can the boiling point of water be raised or lowered?
because the boiling and freezing points can be from two different substances so one could be frozen at 0 degrees and the other boiling
Why boiling water is used instead of cold water when potassium manganate is dropped in the boiling water?
Potassium Manganate (VII) also called potassium permanganate, dissolves very quickly in hot water and much slower in cold water.
What is the boiling point of opal?
Opal is a mineraloid composed of silica. It does not have a boiling point because it is a non-crystalline substance. Instead, opal can lose its water content when exposed to high temperatures, causing it to lose its play-of-color.
When you boil potatoes is your cooking time reduced if the water is vigorisly boiling instead of gently boiling?
No, because the temperature does not change until a phase change is complete so it will not make a difference.
Do sweet potatoes absorb salt from a meal?
Sweet potatoes do not absorb salt from a meal in the way that a sponge absorbs water. Instead, they can take on some flavor from surrounding ingredients during cooking, but the overall sodium content of the sweet potato itself remains relatively constant. Cooking methods, such as boiling or roasting, can influence the final taste, but the sweet potato will not inherently absorb significant amounts of salt from a dish.
Does boiling beets remove nutrients?
Boiling beets can cause some loss of nutrients, as water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C can leach out into the cooking water. However, the extent of nutrient loss can vary depending on factors like cooking time and temperature. To minimize nutrient loss, consider steaming or roasting beets instead of boiling them.
Is it ok to use bouillon while cooking potatoes or pasta - or is it a waste of bouillon?
I would say that using boullion for cooking pasta IS a waste since you're going to put sauce on the pasta anyway. However, using boullion for cooking potatoes (for mashing) makes sense. The boullion will flavor the potatoes while reducing the need for butter or margarine and possibly milk (you can use the boullion flavored water instead). Boullion is also useful in cooking rice. It gives the rice a nice flavor as opposed to water.
Why should we not cook potatoes in tamarind solution and chemically what is the problem if we do so?
Cooking of any substance involves simplifying the complex substances into simpler substances. Thus, cooking of potatoes involves break-down of complex starch into simpler starch. But this can be done only in basic (alkaline) medium. Tamarind solution contains tartaric acid and hence is acidic in nature. So potatoes will not get cooked when we try to do so in tamarind solution. Instead, potatoes should be cooked separately and added to the solution.
What is the boiling point of Aspartame?
Aspartame does not have a definitive boiling point because it decomposes before it reaches a boiling state. Instead of boiling, it breaks down at temperatures around 240°C (464°F). This decomposition results in the loss of its sweetness and the formation of other compounds. Therefore, it's important to handle aspartame carefully in cooking or baking to prevent degradation.
What you can have instead of mash Potatoes?
Rice is a good substitute
Do you cook organic food different from regular grown foods?
Organic food can be cooked exactly the same as regularly grown foods, but some people cook them differently to preserve their nutritional value or to leave out ingredients that are unhealthy. For example, someone cooking organic sweet potatoes might use stevia in place of brown sugar and an alternative instead of butter or margarine. They might also boil or bake potatoes instead of frying them, but those who do not use organically grown foods often select healthier means of cooking foods.

It is important for parents to pass on cooking skills to their childrens?
No,I prefer my own cooking instead of my parents cooking. My parents cooking makes disgusting food
Will spagetii cook faster with salt?
Yes, actually the salt makes your water boil at a higher temperature. So instead of your water boiling at 100 degrees Celsius it boils at 110 degrees Celsius. So when you put your noodles in they cook faster. :)
What is invection cooking?
The correct term is induction cooking instead of invection cooking. Induction cooking heat only the area of the cooktop that the cookware is sitting on. It is a fast and even cooking method.
