With enough insulation you can in theory boil any amount of water with any amount of energy, given enough time.
The key is to supply more energy to the water than it looses.
It takes 2260 joules to boil 1 cc of water, joules can be described at watt-seconds.
One pint of water is approximately 473 cc, so that will requite 1,068,980 Joules to boil.
Given perfect insulation; it would take 17816 seconds / 297 minutes / 5 hours to boil the water with a 60 watt heating element.
Assuming that you do not use perfect insulation and given the fact that a peltier element won't give out all 60 watts on the one side, i'd have to say;
No you can't boil a pint of water on a 60 watt peltier unit.
