      90-110 is hand washing temp. 100 average.

      110 is hot

      120 recommend max

      130 very hot

      140 very very hot

      150 burns

      If I said to you. Would you stick your hand in 50°C water for 100 dollars would you do it?

      What about 60°C?

      65°C?

      I bet you don’t know what would happen if you stuck your hand in 65°C water without looking it up. There’s a huge jump from 60° to 65°C. 70°C will instantly scald you.

      Someone out there is stupid enough to think. Water boils at 100°C, 65 should be perfectly fine. Even though water doesn’t boil until 212°, most people would be cautious of sticking their hand in 100°F+ water.

      Yes if you think 40°C+ is hot then you can gather that 65°C would be hotter. But why compare to 40° when you can do 100°.
