Are temperature and pressure independent during a phase transition

An interesting property of matter is that its temperature will remain constant during a phase change, assuming its surrounding pressure is constant.
In other words, once the temperature of a liquid reaches its boiling point, the temperature will not increase until all the liquid has changed its phase to become a gas. Likewise, once the temperature of a liquid is lowered to its freezing point, the temperature will not decrease until all the liquid has changed its phase to become a solid. A similar effect occurs in the opposite direction.
