    In thermodynamics, superheating (sometimes referred to as boiling retardation, or boiling delay) is the phenomenon in which a liquid is heated to a temperature higher than its boiling point, without boiling. This is a so-called metastable state or metastate, where boiling might occur at any time, induced by external or internal effects.

    This is because steam at 100°C has much more internal energy than water and can transfer it to the food faster through the agitation of a rolling boil. 203.27.72.5 01:08, 21 June 2012 (UTC) Keep in mind that a given volume of pure water actually contains more H 2 O than the same volume of salt water. Because salt water is an imperfect mixture ...
