    Water is heated up when their molecules absorb energy and attain a higher speed. Most of the energy absorbed by water is initially used in disrupting the hydrogen bonds that water molecules make with themselves, thus limiting the amount of energy left to transfer into the kinetic motion of the water molecules themselves. This in turn causes water to heat up much slower.
