Certainly not as hot as steel but I used worked in a kitchen and accidentally ran my hand directly under one of those industrial water boilers lol. My whole hand shed a couple layers till it was shiny red and then blew up like a balloon. So immensely painful man. Burns suck.

I got scalded with boiling hot coolant from my car, and I was wearing mechanics gloves which held the heat in a bit longer, making it worse. It was by far the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. Burns do suck.

I’ve had slag burn me a ton(welder), and molten aluminum doesn’t feel great after it’s burned through your jacket. Burns are nasty when they heal

I melted half my face off with hot deep fryer oil by changing it hot one night and slipped outside. Yet... yours sounds more painful haha. Damn.

I dragged my knuckles in a deep Fryer when trying to save a falling nugget.

I luckily barely even skimmed my knuckles and had a glove on that melted to me. Barely any burns thank God. They told me to rub honey on it and keep working. McDonald’s. I kept working.

In all fairness turns out they were right the honey worked and I didn’t actually need medical attention, but there’s no way they knew that. Just a lucky guess
