You need to review Newtons third law of thermodynamics.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello- We appreciate your interesting question and are happy to help. If the bottom of the pan is hotter than 100 degrees celsius (the boiling point of water), the water touching the pan will start turning into steam, which is a gas and looks like bubbles. When the bubbles become big enough to float up against the pressure/weight of the water then they rise to the surface. Sometimes you will see little bubbles forming when the temperature is not that hot. That is regular air (nitrogen and oxygen) that was dissolved in the water. When the temperature goes up, is forces the air out of the water and you see it as bubbles. You can boil 5 cups of water in less than 3 minutes! This is a beautiful range and we hope you are pleased with it.
