This question is just begging to be asked:

    Why is boiling 2 cups of water in the shortest period of time
   'the standard' for measuring the efficiency of a stove?

I can think of several more relevant questions to ask. Not that cooking time
isn't important within reason, but is 'cooking time' really an issue with
ANY widely used stove? No.

I've never heard ANYONE on this list say, "My stove cooks too slow."

My 54 cents,
Scott Parks
