When boiling water, does putting salt in it really make it boil faster? I don't think it does.?

Answer 1

I don't think it does. We were taught to not put salt in the water becasue it changes the composition of the water! Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Dissolving anything in any solvent (salt in water) raises the boiling point and lowers the freezing point. That's why we use antifreeze. It keeps the car's cooling system from freezing in the winter and boiling over in the summer.

Salt just adds seasoning. Salt is special in that in brings out flavors. A little salt and bland becomes zest. MSG is a type of salt that does the same thing, but better than table salt.

Answer 3

Adding salt to the water does not make it boil faster. It gives you a chance to season the pasta because after it is cooked, any salt or seasoning that you put on it will not be absorbed into the pasta.

Answer 4

No.
When I boil water for pasta I put a lid on the pot. It makes the water boil faster because it keeps the heat in the pot

Answer 5

Salt melts ice via reducing the temperature of the ice's freezing factor. Melted salt in water lowers the boiling factor meaning, the salt and water might boil at a decrease temperature than water on my own. specific, the temperature of salted water will come to a boil " swifter" meaning that at a decrease temperature the boiling factor might boil in much less time then basically water..

Answer 6

That is not true. Nothing can make a pot of water boil faster than the fire its on.

Answer 7

yes, it lowers the boiling temperature of the water, therefore making the water boil faster. it also seasons whatever you are boiling.

Answer 8

It dosent raise the rate of boiling but it does make it boil hotter.

Answer 9

it actually doesn't. it seasons the water when cooking rice, pasta and anything else that need boiling water.

Answer 10

Yes, salt is a heating component that attracts heat.
