Until it suddenly does, and violently if actually superheated.

    You can't superheat water in a pot on a stove. I don't think you can at all with a conventional stove.

    You can do it with a conventional stove, you just need defect free pots. Also the problem is not nearly as pronounced as it is in the glass tube thingy in labs, because a pot is much wider, so there is not such a dramatic eruption.
