My glasstop stove has a burner labelled "power element". It will boil
a liter of water in about 90 seconds. Since I only steam (not boil)
vegetables, I can get a lot of stuff cooked in relatively little time.

Compare this to my MIL's gas stove. Put a pot of potatoes on to boil,
(no steaming in that house, no, things cook faster when they are
boiled) you'll be waiting for half an hour for the water to even get
hot.

Every Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving I get ****ed off about this.
