On Boiling Water: Will it get hotter than the boiling point?

ume you've got a 1L of pure water (no solutes) at 1 atm, set on a hot plate. The max temperature of the hot plate (let's ume it heats evenly) is 300C. Will the water, uming it doesn't all evaportate first, even reach 300C or will it stop rising at the boiling point (100C)?
