hehe. You changed too many variables. How do you know the 2nd burner gets to the same temperature? How do you know the 2nd pot conducts heat the same as the first one. What you needed to do was to turn the burner on for say 15 minutes to guarantee it was at max temperature. Then put the pot with the fresh water and time it. Then empty the pot, and wait for it to cool to room temperature. Then put saltwater in it and put it over the same burner, which you have either not turned off or have turned on 15 minutes previously.
That would be much more accurate, though still poor in accuracy because electric stoves don't maintain a constant temperature unlike gas.
