Why can you grab it only on the corners?

Why can you grab it only on the corners?
- chki 7y agoMy first guess would be less surface for contact, thus less heat transfer. But the corners are also colored differently, I'm not sure why that's the case. They probably cool down quicker?
- krick 7y agoI assumed the color difference is just that they are actually cooler, so yeah, they cool down quicker. And not just "quicker": the difference must be huge in order for it to be completely safe to grab the corners and actually dangerous to grab the faces. But why?
- blauditore 7y agoProbably because it cools down much faster there, due to higher relative surface (per mass). You can also see this simply by the difference in color.
