Those coil heaters put out a lot of heat at full power. Once all the water evaporates, that heat raises the temperature of the pan very quickly. Don’t set a pot to boil and then go do something else in a different room, especially if that something else is playing age of empires.

But if you watch it, it won’t boil?
