This guy should take a basic physical science class. The inside
surface of the pan is not demonstrably hotter than the water; the
water convects the heat away as fast as it is introduced. The Heat of
Vaporization prevents the water (or the surface of the pan) from
getting hotter than 100C until the water is gone. Ever boiled water in
a paper cup?
