Also, does it boil with less heat applied?
Can I use convection to my cooking advantage?

Some diverging theories, does anyone know for a fact?

The pot with the lid on it will boil first. The lid keeps heat from escaping due to evaporation.

The pot with the lid will boil slower. As the water boils, condensation will accumulate on the lid and drip back into the water. This condensation is cooled water vapor. Cooled water dripping back into your pot will slow the boiling time. The pot without a lid allows steam to leave the pot completely, resulting in less water and a faster boiling time. All water needs to reach 100degrees C in order to boil, if it is pure H2O

Yes water boils faster in a pot with a lid than in one without a lid. It does boil with less heat applied.

The lid will cause the pressure to increase and raise the boiling point.

A watched pot never boils, so you should probably put a lid on it!

With the lid as it condenses the heat.
Yes though takes longer.
Not sure. I don't use.
