Things You'll Need
Instructions
Light a portable gas stove. Light a match and turn the gas stove knob clockwise a little. Hold the lit match against the burner. This will cause the gas to light and begin burning in a controlled way. Turn the knob all the way for maximum heat and faster steam generation.
Pour water into a pan or a non-electric kettle. Use a funnel if you wish, to make pouring the water into the kettle easier, as it has a narrow spout.
Place the pan or kettle on the stove. Wait until the water boils. Note this takes from about 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the stove, pan or kettle and volume of water.
