To boil water you need to rise the temperature to the boiling point and that is what take time.

You then need to add energy all the time to convert the water to steam and when you remove the power souse it will stop boiling immediately. If you then put it back it will start to boil immediately again. More exact it is almost immediately because the temperature might have dropped a bit when it was removed.
