It would take a lot of salt to have a large noticeable difference, but I like to believe it helps.
As a very loose and unreliable rule of thumb for every 5% salt you raise the water’s boiling point by about a degree, but anything more than 2500 mg is over your daily recommended value: each cup of water is 236,588 mg so 5% of 2 cups water would be 23,658 mg.
But it’s not wrong to say adding salt helps cook rice, just not by a noticeable amount.
That seems wrong to me. Adding salt doesn’t increase the boiling temperature much
