I can't understand why the man on the right (Todd Howard) uses the past continuous here, "It was boiling for a while". After everything I've learned here on this forum about using the past simple vs the past continuous with duration, I would assume that he should have said "It boiled for a while" or "It'd been boiling for a while".
