Boiling water.
I am collecting data on various appliances and their water boiling abilities. I measure the temperature before and see when the temperature plateaus due to the state change. I time it. When possible I measure the energy use.
The more time I invest in it the more I think every North American kitchen should have at least one NEMA 6-20R.
How much faster is it with the 6-20R?
I guess "faster than what?" is what we need to clarify here, so I'll give you a few numbers.
The fastest I've got a gas stove to boil a litre of water was around 6 minutes using a "Turbo boil" burner. The highest power US spec kettles you typically get are ~1500W, which take around 4m30s to boil the water, pretty similar to what you'll get with a plug-in induction stove.
With a NEMA 6-20R, you can buy a plug adapter and a cheap British kettle (~3000W), which will boil a litre of water in just over 2 minutes. But those typically have 13 A fuses in the plugs. A NEMA 6-20R would realistically allow a 4500 W kettle which would finish off a litre of water in under 90 seconds.
