The stove in my new apartment was a fluke, but with a couple immersion heaters I got better boils than I've ever had!

I built a boil kettle from a beer keg with a 3500W hot water tank heater element. TIGged in a NPT bulkhead and the element screws into that. I was rather anal about the live ends on the outside of the kettle getting a liquid-tite connector, and it goes to a GFCI breaker.
