Dear CSDb, please help us solve an argument
So, we're having this heated discussion with my gf about the electric stove. She says that if I place a pot on the side of it, the water will boil faster, rather than if it's placed on the center of it. I think it doesn't really matter, the water will boil by the same time on both places.
What do you think, which one is a faster way to boil water?
So, same size of pot, same amount of water, but different locations on the stove.
Oh and sorry for the topic but this makes us nuts, and we'd really need 3d party opinions, you're our only hope :)

You put your hand on her spot and she on yours (no double-entendre intended) and whoever removes their hand first is wrong.

Why dont you just take a stopwatch and try it out? And please, make a comic strip out of it while you're at it? |

Good idea, but the stove heats up very fast and becomes hot on the whole surface in seconds, so that way we wouldn't be able to tell the difference after all :) |

Stainless: yes, that's what we're doing right now :) But it takes a lot of time for the stove to cool down to an initial state... |

No need to argue or discuss - make a test!
Test 1: stove on center
Test 2: Stove on side
Repeat 3 times for each test.
1) Fill pot with 500 Ml of water
2) check that temp is same (20 deg.) and stove is cold.
3) put on stove and turn on the heat to max.
4) note time-start.
5) When boiling, note time-end.
When u have the results, then post them on CSDB!

You need to open up the plate and see how the threads are laid out :)
Anyway, when your testing is done and you see that both ways of doing it is dead slow, then go buy an induction cooker. |

Press the pot against the plate for extra boiling speed. This will allow for some cheating during your stove-test. |
