Put a pinch of croase sand in the container. It provide some angular
surfaces that will stimulate the bubble formation as the liquid reatch
the ebulition point. It will allow a gradual transition.
You can also rub the inside bottom of a container with fine sand paper.
About any rough surfaced material will do the trick.

That's why, in some areas, you have cook books that gives several
cooking times sorted by altitude ranges.

And get it under the right condition and ice sublimates. Even more
interesting at certain temperature/pressure combinations water can be
kind of a liquid that's almost a gas, and can smoothly change phases
between the two.

Actually, an interesting question: does water's liquid-solid phase
change at standard atmospheric pressure exhibit hysteresis?
