Alright Stagers, Here's the highly complicated answer to the question does adding salt make water boil faster?
Many of you hit upon some very important aspects of the equation.
First off the salt NaCl must not be Iodized.
Plumbob, you mentioned the amount salt per container.
Possum, you mentioned the mineral content of the water. It must be either sterilized or distilled.
For sake of the experiment with teped or lukewarm water of 90 degrees distilled water.
Saw1 you mentioned elevation.
Water boils at 212 degrees at sea level, but decrease by 1 degree from every 500 feet in elevation.
Here in Lafayette Indiana the elevation is + 600 feet, so we'll count that as - 1 degree.
At Saws place in Lake Tahoe the elevation is + 6200 feet so water would boil at 200 degrees.
You also have to take account of the type of vessel you're boiling the water in. Aluminum ( AL atomic #13 ) distributes heat the fastest.
So the proper amount of salt in the proper container will separate the NaCl into Sodium ( Na atomic # 11
and the Clorine ( Cl atomic # 17 ) and thereby disrupting steam from forming.
After all of that explanation under ideal conditions. Salt WILL decrease the boiling time of water by about 5 seconds.
My mom asked my wife " Joyce how does he know all these things "?
She said " He reads alot and remembers alot. Except where he leaves his keys and wallet ".

Hello stagers,
My daughter ,Crystal, got a job at a liquor store.
No one in our family drinks much. I would like to try some drink recipes. I'm asking you for your input.
What is your favorite and how do you make it.
I'm looking for drinks other the usual like rum or whiskey in Coke.
For example. I once had a drink that I enjoyed called a Grasshopper 🦗. It was a shot of Cream de Mint, Cream de Cocco and a shot of vodka mixed with 1/2 & 1/2. I also remember something called a Pink Squirrel, but don't remember its ingredients other than Peppermint Schnapps.
My wife mentioned Long Island Iced Tea, but neither of us know how to make it.
Looking forward to your recipes.
