Yep once water begins to boil, it changes state to steam & can not get any hotter in liquid form. Pressure in the pan is not enough to raise the boiling temp more than just a few degrees so as Rusty states 110 Deg F is more than adequate to boil off the water. Also most modern oils / Synthetics are designed to flow/protect at very low temps
