Place the pot on the stove and turn the heat to high. Check for steam escaping from under the lid, then lift the lid carefully to see how the water is doing. Look at the water. If large bubbles are rising from the bottom of the pot to the surface, the water is boiling.
Water boils when it reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Water at a high altitude (for example, in a town in the mountains) doesnât have to get as hot in order to boil. In fact, water doesnât have to boil in order to turn from a liquid to a gas! For example, water at the surface of a lake can evaporate, or change to water vapor when heated by the sun!
