Boil Quote by Timothy Ferriss
““To boil water, the MED is 212°F (100°C) at standard air pressure. Boiled is boiled. Higher temperatures will not make it “more boiled.” Higher temperatures just consume more resources that could be used for something else more productive.””
About This Quote
Source Interview: The Tim Ferriss Show, 2015
Boiling water at standard pressure reaches a fixed temperature; higher heat wastes energy without extra benefit.
In simple terms: Boiling point is fixed; extra heat wastes energy.
