Apparently, salt in water does two things:

  • makes it need less energy to raise in temperature (and therefore somewhat faster to reach e.g. 100°C)
  • raises the boiling point, so if you add a lot of salt, it might not start turning into a gas / violently bubbling until 105°C.

Picture based reference guides for anything and everything. If it seems like something someone might print, physically post, and reference then it is a good link for this sub. Remember: Infographics are learning tools, guides are reference tools. Sometimes it's grey.

/r/coolguides mods just let me know if you need access here, just wanted to keep the place available for you
