1) Use An Electric Kettle To Make Water boil Faster

Waiting for water to boil is annoying, especially when you just need to cook pasta for a quick and easy dinner. Our recommendation? Invest in a high-quality electric kettle. Electric kettles are designed to make water boil in a matter of minutes (2 -3, versus 10-15 on the stovetop). Then you can just pour the boiling water into a pot, turn the heat up, and it's ready to go! This is especially convenient when you don't have to boil large quantities of water.
