Liquid water will produce a hot mist (wet steam) just below the boiling point. 
At the boiling point it produces dry steam.
What happens is that the water keeps absorbing energy until it becomes dry 
steam. The temperature of the vessel walls doesn't increase 
7 times while this is happening. It would increase 7 times if the vessel 
contained no liquid water.
