is this stuff too hot to touch? or how hot?

Not made for touching. It must be attached to the metal oil pan on your engine.

Think of touching a 100W light bulb. However when attached to your oil pan all the heat is spread into the metal to a point where I could touch it without issue.

Yea the pad is hot to touch when plugged in. Works great for heating thick oil in cold climates.

I wouldn't even consider it! Would get too hot to handle. Also, what would one do with leftover heated oil? Flavor change for sure. Too attractive to take a chance on damaging the appearance by exposing it to excessive heat. mmm

No, I just put some on my inside forearm-- when it feel slightly warm, I use it. Your body temperature is between 97 and 99 degrees- so when it feel lukewarm you are pretty close.

It is not hot per say BUT, it is spicy. IE it does not burn, I can keep it in my mouth ... but it is a strong flavour. I happen to like it ... I have been using it for some time now, certainly have a drink of water or perhaps milk would be better to follow it.

It gets very hot. You can set the temp. It will burn the skin if you touch it.

Lots of soap and water. And don't touch your eyes for a while. You can lick your hand to see if there is residual heat.

I haven't noticed it getting that hot, so I would think it would be fine. I would keep an eye on it and make sure it stays dry, though.

I'd follow the Kurtzon response with high temp paint.They do get too hot to lay your hands for too long.

I agree that it is not as hot as it probably could be, but I don't add cream so that helps. I use the microwave to heat it up should it not be hot enough. Descaling does not make it hotter. Already been down that road. Maybe we should contact the company directly.

I believe it must be from the look and feel of it, and how nicely it sheds burnt on food. I think it's probably not toxic because it's below the heating element, so does not get very hot, but I'm no expert.

It is like very warm tar. I use it by dipping a toothpick in it and then one or 2 drops into whatever I'm making. These are very small drops, and a little goes a very long way. I LOVE this stuff.

You can touch it but I would not keep my hand on it. It is insulated but it isn't ceramic. So the heat is there more so than ceramic.

I have never thought it got TOO hot.... I'll pay more attention and let you know

I have no ideal. I only use it to mix it with hair oils and apply it to my scalp. My daughter and I have never been burned by it.

I haven't noticed it getting hot at all! I'll try to pay closer attention the next time I use it but I don't recall it being hot at any time I picked it up - and I've used it quite a bit since I bought it!

Yes, that hot. It's great for steeping tea, and reconstituted dried veggies in soup or dip mixes. Yes, it is hot enough to burn, so caution is advised! Hope this answer helps!
