How fast does it boil .5L, 1L?
1752381
don't have a second hand, but the 1L started a rolling boil in about 2.5 minutes, and the unit shut off, before 3 minutes

I haven't timed it, but it is very fast. The 1750 amp heater does a fantastic job of heating the water quickly.

Matt! Can't believe I just checked it out, but it took 2 min. 30 seconds for .5 ltr. from cold. Love this pot. Just get it!

I spoke with my wife and was told that it takes 60 to 90 seconds to come to a boil and wsitches off.

I rarely take the time to review my purchases, but my Waring hot plate was so superior to any I'd ever used, knew I had to review it. With that in mind, I took the time to time and test it for Bobby. Factor in my altitude is 3,000 ft., I took 1 qt. cold faucet water in 2 qt. covered (high quality Calphalon) sauce pan, without preheating, turned knob to 5 (highest). Had a full rolling boil in 11 minutes.

It takes about 5-ish minutes for a hard boil. Sooner if you do not want it as scalding.

not close to boiling, only 170 degree or I would have bought it along time ago. I am looking for one that boils to 212

It takes more than 10 minutes on the larger ones. Boil in til Completely clear and you can't feel any grit when you press it between your fingers. Hope that helps.

5-6 hrs if all you are doing is bringing up to a boil and maintaining a steady boil.That is based on boiling 14 gallons in a 60 qt pot.

Hey, I just used this burner to brew beer last night and it took a little longer than a normal stove but it worked really well . I only boiled around 2.5 gallons or so for the brew (in one of those old black canning kettles) and it took around 1.5hrs to start boiling after I steeped some grains and added the malt extract. Im not sure it would do 5 gallons at once, but you dont need to boil 5 gallons if your just doing a single batch of extract beer. I would recommend doing the boil in 2.5-3 gallons (should be plenty, even if you are adding some specialty grains), and then topping it off with cold water when the boil is over (also speeds up the chilling process). Otherwise, if youre boiling outside I have heard rave reviews about those little propane set ups (esp 'the hurricane'). I wanted a burner in my downstairs 'kitchenette' (with minimal fire risk), so this seemed like a good option, and so far it is working out well. Good luck.

I have a 2 1/2 gal tank and prob takes around 5 minutes. I have never timed it though.

It's about 5 pounds or so. It boils water so quickly. I love it no matter what it weighs!

Oh, super fast boiling time....First time, boil and toss the water. Do that a couple times. Then you are good to go.

Perhaps I just haven't paid that close attention, as I (like a few of those below)fill my unit as I see it gets to around to 1L left. Thus, it is not when I need the water to be hot, so I am not sitting watching the proverbial pot boil. However, it is pretty quick - under 15 minutes for sure. I am also on cooler well water, but it definitely has not taken more than 15 minutes for 3 full liters of boiling hot water. Once it has boiled, depending on the hold temperature you set, your water will remain hot until you put more cool water in the unit.

Wouldn't be my first choice for boiling a 5 gal. Pot. The cool is about 5-7 inch across. It could produce the heat though to get the job done

YES! That is one of the main reasons I bought this unit. It's faster than my gas cooktop at boiling water.

I fill my pot to the indent closest to the top of the pot. At that level, on my electric stove, it takes 4 to 5 minutes to boil on high. I set the timer on my stove so I don't have issues. I also set my standard kettle to boil at the same time. I use the kettle to preheat cups and Chemex and the smaller pot for my pour over coffee. They take about the same time to boil. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure. I usually put cold water in and have a gas stove an it seems to boils pretty quick. There are a lot of variables though that go into how fast it will boil on different stoves, etc. It definitely does not take longer to boil than any other teapots I've ever had.

The bottom of the unit shows: 120V~ 60Hz 1500W. Boils a liter of water in 2.5 minutes.

I timed, it but I don't remember now maybe around 4 to 4 1/2 minutes, but as one who uses a lot of hot pots both in the country and out, it boils pretty quickly. US wattage was pretty good. I think it is well made and has a switch on bottom for changing voltage, just a little hard to see. My only complaint is it is a little smaller than the Bodum pot that we replace with this new one, since it broke, but it is a good all around choice other than that.
