  2. Thermal burn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_burn

    Scalding is a type of thermal burn caused by boiling water and steam, commonly suffered by children. Scalds are commonly caused by accidental spilling of hot liquids, having water temperature too high for baths and showers, steam from boiling water or heated food, or getting splattered by hot cooking oil.

  3. Microwave burn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_burn

    The depth of penetration depends on the frequency of the microwaves and the tissue type. The Active Denial System ("pain ray") is a less-lethal directed energy weapon that employs a microwave beam at 95 GHz; a two-second burst of the 95 GHz focused beam heats the skin to a temperature of 130 °F (54 °C) at a depth of 1/64th of an inch (0.4 mm) and is claimed to cause skin pain without lasting ...

  4. Superheating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheating

    In thermodynamics, superheating (sometimes referred to as boiling retardation, or boiling delay) is the phenomenon in which a liquid is heated to a temperature higher than its boiling point, without boiling. This is a so-called metastable state or metastate, where boiling might occur at any time, induced by external or internal effects.

    A frog sitting on the handle of a saucepan on a hot stove. The frog in this photo was unharmed. [1] The boiling frog is an apologue describing a frog being slowly boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will ...

  7. Gas stove - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_stove

    Gas stoves today use two basic types of ignition sources, standing pilot and electric. [21] A stove with a standing pilot has a small, continuously burning gas flame (called a pilot light) under the cooktop. [21] The flame is between the front and back burners. When the stove is turned on, this flame lights the gas flowing out of the burners.

    Following the same water-to-rice ratio and heating the rice over a stovetop can also work. No matter which method you follow, Rael says you need to ensure the rice reaches an internal temperature ...

  9. Microwave oven - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven

    The lower temperature of cooking (the boiling point of water) is a significant safety benefit compared with baking in the oven or frying, because it eliminates the formation of tars and char, which are carcinogenic. [73] Microwave radiation also penetrates deeper than direct heat, so that the food is heated by its own internal water content.
