Its been mentioned but I like to think about the amount of “heat energy” something has like glass of water. If something can’t hold lots of heat energy what little energy it has will dissipate VERY quickly once it touches you. So yeah, the aluminum may be hot but it contains so little “hot” that once you touch you skin is easily able to absorb the little amount of energy without getting burned.
