Raises the temperature at which the water boilsAdding salt does not make the water boil faster, but makes the water boil at a higher temperature than 100 degrees Celsius. This may allow you to cook food in that water faster than in plain boiling water.

Adding salt to water increases its boiling point, causing it to boil at a higher temperature compared to plain water. This is due to the salt increasing the boiling point of the water by raising its boiling point elevation.
