Why would water stay boiling?
So, I made brine for my turkey for Thanksgiving. I boiled a stainless steel stock pot full of oranges, lemons, and various seasonings (and lots of salt). Once the ingredients were boiled, I set the whole pot (with the lid on) outside in the snow to cool so I could put the turkey in. I let in sit in the snow ~20 minutes. When I went back out to check on it, I lifted the lid, and everything was still at a rolling boil. I'm curious as to why!

Weirdly, the snow would have insulated the pot of 'brine'.
Take it out of the snow, off set the lid, then just leave it on the cold stone step or yard.

Impossible - you were mistaken, get a video of the pot in the snow for 20 minutes that is still boiling or it didn't happen - you change the cooking temp from about 800 degress F to 20-30F and 20 minutes at those temps would shutdown the heat transfer to the liquid in just a few minutes.

Especially for fancy pots, there is a thick bottom layer that people with advanced chemistry and physics degrees designed over 40 years to brand which make or break a company.
You didn't put your food in the snow. You put the world's best minds' work in the snow with your food on top of it. That base plate has been rated to 45.989PMG with a altimadadora of 0.45 and a gabahehe of 12.96 under the specific gravity of 12.8%.
In short, the bottom of the pot stayed well over 100c even in -10f because that's what you paid $125 for it to do.
