What is the temperature range for food not to burn your mouth?
- karmakaze 5y agoThis is from one of the links on the page. > [...] hydrogen gas has a specific heat capacity of about 14.31 kJ/kgK at room temperature [...] But even hydrogen gas is not particularly useful [...] We will probably need a liquid. > The specific heat capacity of aqueous Ammonia, for example, is slightly higher than water's specific heat capacity, at 1.014 cal/deg*K compared to water. > But this tiny difference is much more expensive than, say, adding 1.4% more water to your temperature regulation system.

- simonblack 5y agoToo many variables to give one definitive answer. Different people have different temperature sensitivities, for a start. Is that maybe due to varied nerve sensitivity, or perhaps greater or less vascularisation of the mouth's mucous membranes which would conduct heat away faster or slower? A lot of research would be required on a subject which is pretty much unimportant for most people. Suffice it to say "I can feel what temperature is my preferred one".
