    It's because it tips over the threshold from nucleate boiling, which we can see, to convection boiling, which we can't ... Even if the steam stayed in the pot, it would still stop boiling when you removed the heat. The steam and water in a liquid/vapour mixture are at the same temperature (100ºC).
