How fast can one boil water in one of these?

Good question, but the answer determinate on a few things, i.e. do you have a gas or electric stove? If electric, do you have a speed boil feature? Either way there are other factors in how quickly one can boil water. This product, being porcelain covered cast iron, will conduct and distribute heat quickly and evenly. Another factor (but important) in how fast you can boil water in this product is the Lid. Keeping the lid on any pot will help with the speed it takes for water to come to a boil as the lid will hold and redirect the escaping heat back into the water. Hope this helps.

it took exactly 5:46.85, now I used cold water out of the tap, and have found that altitude does have an effect on how fast the water boils. my altitude is at 3200ft. hope this helps

10-15 minutes takes about 20-25 for boil. Great buy for brewing, used mine twice so far.

I believe this one is 1500 - a slow boiler. :-) Everything under 1kW would be rather slow to bring water to boil.

No, it will not boil water. You could make tea/instant whatever with it as it gets plenty hot, but not boiling.

That depends on how much water you have in the kettle and if the water is warm or cold when you put it in. My guess is it take about two or three minutes, on average. It is definitely faster than a manual kettle on the burner. By the way...I have used electric kettles all my adult life. This is one of the best I have ever had. My friends have admired my kettle and bought one for themselves. So did my church!

With room temperature water, it takes about three minutes when set on high. I usually begin with water already heated from a brewer so it is less than a minute for it to boil.

it could boil water, but I don't recommend this cooker because the coating on the inside is flaking off already!!!

It only takes a few seconds for us to get hot water. Ours is used in the kitchen for hot chocolate, tea and to fill pots so they don't take so long to boil on the stove.

It takes very quickly to boil the full kettle / no longer than 3 min/. This kettle is the best I've ever had. I love it and it;s worth the price.You will never regret it to buy.

Yes you can! I have a regular electric stove( coil one )It's so quick to make a hot water! I just love this!

yes but it may take a take a little longer. I have always cooked on low, so maybe high would boil faster. Really like it, and liked my old ones too.They just wore out.

The bottom of the unit shows: 120V~ 60Hz 1500W. Boils a liter of water in 2.5 minutes.

It really isn't the best thing for just boiling water, but the quick rice function would probably be the quickest boil. The slow cooker function also holds at a very low boil, but takes a bit of time to get there. The steam function might also work. But if you were trying to boil water for something like pasta, I don't think it would work very well.

It depends on how much water is in it. I usually do a full kettle for brewing iced tea (actually a little over the "max" line) and it takes maybe 5 minutes for a full pot... not entirely sure since I have not timed it, but it doesn't seem long unless you're standing there watching and waiting (LOL).
