The gas stove is the most efficient at supplying heat. Electric elements take a long time to build up heat, as you can see when you turn one on. The element takes some time to become red hot, and able to supply sufficient energy to a pot of water to make the contents boil. However, when a gas stove ignites, you have full "instant" heat available without the wait.
Most professional chefs prefer gas heat because you have instant control over it. With an electric stove, not only does it take time to come up to a usable temperature, but it takes considerable time for it to cool down to the point where something won't burn, scald or scorch.

What boils faster water or lemonade?
The only way I can think of to make milk boil faster is to either increase the heat, or get a pan that heats up better, but there's an easier way to get your boiled milk faster. Use the microwave, not a stovetop, to heat up your milk. If you use the stove, you are heating the pan to heat the contents of the pan, and that takes time. Depending on the volume of milk you want to get to boiling, I can have it almost to the boil in two minutes or less in my microwave. You have to do a little testing, 30 seconds at a time, to see about how long it takes to get the milk to the desired point, but its a lot faster than doing it on the stove.

Which makes more heat a microwave or a stove?
first off microwave ovens in and of themselves dont generate heat 2 cook things they use microwave radiation that excites water molecules to vibrate which causes heat. if theres nothing in a microwave it isint heating anything unlike a stove left on that just throws heat into the air when nothing is being heated. As to the question you asked neither can be said to generate more heat because depending on how many watts your stove is and what wattage your microwave is they may be able to heat things up at different rates. in my house i have 2 microwaves and a stove. one of my microwaves is a 1200 watt model and the other is a much mor epowerfull 2100 watt model, my stove can easly boil water faster then the 1200 watt model if turned on at the same time but the 2100 watt model easily beats out the stove for boiling water first.
