Actually, water boils slower when salt is added to it. The salt raises the boiling point of the pure water. However, the raised boiling point means that the chef will have more time before the water reaches boiling and starts to rapidly evaporate from the pot. (For many things you want all the water in the pot that you can get.) Also, the food itself will reach a higher temperature itself before that boiling point is reached, so on a large scale, this can cut down on cooking time.

no, salt lowers waters boiling point, it is all chemistry, salt is non polar and water is polar and when u add negatively charged compound, NaCl, salt to neutral water then boiling point of water naturally will take longer time to get hot because of the subcharges of the compounds

Actually it does'nt. Anything you add to pure water is going to raise the boiling point so it will take longer to boil. Just basic physics!

salt change the boil temperature to a lower level

Cause salt is like small little chemicals.
