Why does water stop boiling when you lower the heat source (but is still more than the boiling temperature)?

Question

I have observed this while cooking, but if you boil something at high flame and then turn the flame low, the liquid stops boiling. E.g. Water boils at 100C. On high gas, it starts boiling. That means the water temp is now 100C. Then if I lower the flame, the water stops boiling even though the flame temperature is greater than 100C at all times. At high flame, the water has reached 100C, so if I lower the flame the water temp should still remain 100C.

Answer 1

Water will boil to the boiling temperature and not higher.

You can’t increase temperature above the boiling point. In normal pressure thats is.

As soon as you remove it from the heat source it will stop boiling but stay just below it boiling temperature for a while.
