A false boil is basically a cooking "old wives tale." It was based on the assumption that placing a lid on a pot of water to boil it caused pressure to build up which caused air bubbles to be forced into the water, giving an appearance of a boil, when boiling temperature had not actually been reached. In actuality, the lid helps the water to reach the boiling point faster.
