As you probably already know, water boils at 212F (100C). This only applies when at sea level with an atmospheric pressure of 14.7psia. To raise the boiling point all you need to do is raise the pressure.

In a steam plant where steam is used to drive turbines, the water is pressurized by heating it in an enclosed system. As the water turns to steam, the steam has no where to escape and the pressure in the enclosed system begins to rise. As the pressure rises so does the boinling point. Some plants will raise the temperature to 500F which corresponds to a pressure of about 620psi.

What are the main differences between a stove and an oven, and how do they affect cooking techniques and outcomes?

The main difference between a stove and an oven is how they generate heat. A stove uses direct heat from a flame or electric element to cook food quickly, while an oven uses indirect heat to surround the food and cook it slowly and evenly. This difference affects cooking techniques and outcomes by allowing for different methods such as frying, boiling, and sauting on a stove, and baking, roasting, and broiling in an oven. The choice of appliance can impact the texture, flavor, and appearance of the final dish.
