>First you gotta bring the water up to a rollin boll

why though? why does the boll need to roll?

it's roiling boil, not rolling. A roiling boil is at max temp and agitates the water to keep things mixed up.

Because whatever you're going to throw in the water will cool it down some, so you want it as high as it can go so that the temperature remains as close to boiling as possible and the timing doesn't get fucked up.

that makes no fucking sense. why would it be rolling? there's no rolling involved, while a great deal of roiling does indeed happen.

You misheard. It's A. Roland Boyle, the extremely Irish step-cousin-in-law of Lucretia Mott. So yeah. Just bring some water to A. Roland Boyle and he'll handle the rest of the cooking for you.

I guess it's rolling as in "in a steady, continuous way" rather than "turning over on an axis". Roiling makes sense but it seems a little poetic for your average workaday cook to be using as a description.

You want the water to be at maximum heat capacity so that when you drop whatever you're boiling doesn't lower the temperature of the water to below boiling point.

If you go as soon as the water begins to boil the water towards the bottom of the pot may be hotter than water towards the top of the pot.

Wether or not this has an affect on the food is another discussion entirely, and depends on what you're boiling, but this is the idea.

Furthermore if your water goes still after adding food to a rolling boil you may need to increase the volume of water next time (larger pot)

Waves roll, don't they?
That's a thing water can do.
I mean, I agree that it probably came from a misunderstanding of 'roil', but we could retroactively justify it by saying 'the water boils like an angry sea of rolling waves'.

Rolling boil is literally that. You can see what happens to the water easier when you put pasta in it. Once it's ready boiling the water starts rolling into itself in the middle.

When you first see bubbles the water's only at around 180F. Perfect temp for making tea, but too low if you're actually cooking things.

I remember talking to my friend about tea and we got onto the topic of superheating water in a microwave. He argued with me that a microwave can't make water hotter than a stove, then burnt the fuck out of himself when he dropped a teabag in a cup of microwaved water and it started boiling violently. Then he still denied it.

This. When you're heating water, the temperature rises slower and slower, the closer it gets to the boiling point. If you add your food when you first see bubbles, it will throw off your cook time, but might cause additional problems, depending on the food.
