Why can tinfoil be touched immediately after coming out of a super hot (hundreds of degrees) oven?
In: Other
Temperature and heat are different. The amount of heat energy needed to bring an object up to a specific temperature depends on the material. Tin foil doesn’t need a lot of energy to bring it to the temperature of the oven. When you touch it, the water in your body absorbs a relatively massive amount of that energy and barely raises the temperature of your skin.
