Answer

$m_{evaporated}=7.93*10^-4\frac{kg}{s}$

Work Step by Step

The rate of heat transferred to the water is: $Q_{transferred}=0.6*3kW=1.8kW=1.8\frac{kJ}{s}$ At a temperature of $95^{\circ}C$ we need $2269.6kJ$ to vaporize $1kg$ of saturated liquid water: $m_{evaporated}=\frac{1.8\frac{kJ}{s}}{2269.6\frac{kJ}{kg}}=7.93*10^-4\frac{kg}{s}$
