Boiling is the rapid vaporization of a liquid, which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point, the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding environmental pressure.

Boiling in the food context is not an edible food item but refers to a cooking method in which food is cooked by submerging it in a liquid (usually water) that has been heated to its boiling point (100°C at standard sea level pressure). This process transfers heat rapidly and evenly from the liquid to the food, cooking it quickly and thoroughly.
