The steam coming out of an Instant Pot. People have looked very worried when I put my hand into the steam blasting out.
It absolutely can burn you, especially if you're taking about when doing a quick release. I've burnt my hand numerous occasions trying to cover the steam vent with a tea towel.
Yeah the second-worst burn I ever got was from steam when I was opening a pressure cooker.
The first-worst was from accidentally touching a soldering iron.
Ooooh, yeah. 400c soldering iron isn't good for your fingers xD
I would look worried too, from what I've felt the steam from my Instant Pot is extremely hot!
One might say, it's boiling!
Terrible idea. Steam will fuck your entire world up. I can put my hand onto a flat top, but steam is bullshit
Fun fact about steam, unlike normal burns it doesn't kill your nerves.
Ouch. Doesn't sound fun.
