Tbh, I don't get it. How can a coffee, that can be max 100°C cause such burns? I would have never believed hot/boiling water is that dangerous, without that story.

That’s literally a temperature you would cook meat with

What do you think people are made of?

TIL, videos saying "cook meat at 180°" actually meant 180°F and not 180°C.

Now I have to check what my induction stove means when it reads 180 in deep frying mode.

Hot air/gas, hot water/liquid, and a hot solid behaved very differently. The numbers depend a lot on what's being measured. There's also a big variable of time.

The cheap induction stove is not really measuring anything.

Its PWM has been tuned to get to the temperature the user selects, under whatever testing conditions they had while R&D. The displayed temperature is just the user selected temperature.

But setting it to 120(whatever unit) manages to make good enough french fries, so that's fine by me.
