rolling boils
Water's violent churning
A rolling boil is water heated past the point where bubbles merely rise—the surface churns continuously and vigorously, unaffected by stirring.
Recipes specify this stage when maximum heat transfer matters: Bring the pasta water to a rolling boil.
The plural typically appears in the phrase at rolling boils or describes multiple pots reaching this state.
