Why does boiling water stop boiling immediately after removing from a heat source?

Wouldn't it take a while to cool down below boiling temp?

No.  The liquid water part never gets above boiling because water above boiling turns to steam and floats away.  So the water left in the pot is just at the boiling point and doesn't have any more energy input to push it any higher.
