He mentions induction 'hot plates' towards the end, and says that they're limited to the same 1800W and 120V as kettles, but there are "commercial" portable induction stoves that are 220V and can go up to 3500 and 5000W; e.g.:
I am a farmer with giant water pumps and center pivots that run on 3 phase 480 volt power. One of my pumps has 85 horsepower. I wonder if I could wire up some sort of custom made tea kettle and get water to boil in five seconds?
3-phase electeode Boiler comes to mind.
Just have it as a pass-through with a grounded shield at the end to keep you from accidentally touching dangerous voltage.

Just need a NEMA 6 plug (GFCI/AFCI per code as well probably):

You can run an induction range top off a nema 14-50 and be boiling in like a minute

For a small amount of water, I would be afraid of flashing the water into steam, and the resulting steam explosion.
And that's why nobody invites you to parties.
You might need a pressure vessel and a stirrer to hit 100 deg C in 5 seconds.
For sure, you could use six 240V heating elements wired in series in three pairs to get their rated power.
Of you can wire 240V elements directly to 480V to quadruple the power, as shown in the video ;)
