If your pot is a better quality, it means your walls are thicker so
that's a factor. Also, a larger pot means more water, which means it
will take longer to boil. When I use my big pot and fill it with
water, I put the lid on. For some reason the water boils faster. Try
using the lid on next time you want to boil water. Oh, yes... did you
put salt in the water? Salt affects the time it takes for water to
boil.
