Heat a mixture to 100 degrees F without a thermometer?

I have a bread recipe that I'm making and I need to heat milk over a stove to "100-110" degrees F. Is there any way I can get it in this range without a thermometer? I don't have a liquid thermometer.
 
Maybe use a piece of metal instead of your finger. Like a fork or something, leave it in for 20 seconds and then pull it out and touch the fork. Or just spoon up some of the milk and touch it from the spoon.

not really. 110 is like bath water.

Cool bath water. If you recoil at 110F, you're pretty sensitive, or a baby. That's not far above body temperature. His temp should be closer to 100F anyway. If he goes too hot it'll kill the yeast. A little too cool, and it'll just take longer to rise.
 
Mix in some pentane, when it starts to boil you're there :awe: Maybe let it all boil out, I think proper etiquette is to feed some to a pet pig and see if it dies...
 
LMFAO at people calling 110 a cool bath, get real. Most people can't tolerate that temperature for long. FYI a hot tub is around 100F. Guess they should call them cold tubs.

Eh, not really. My tankless is set at 114 for showers. I turn it up for baths.
Kids on the other hand have it at 106 for baths.
100? yeah no.

Yes, for one thing the temperature from the tank isn't the same as the tap as the temperature drops. FYI at 120 you start getting first degree burns, so no your baths aren't over 120.

Hot tubs are only set to 100, the max you will see in a hot tub is 105. You really need to educate your self.
 
Use a temp gun like this:

Mind you I don't know if you can get that high with one of those. I know when I was playing around with mine near the stove it would max it out. Should be able to at least do 100 though.

Nope. When my tankless is set at 114. The temp coming out of the faucet is 114. Measured with a thermometer. Is it right away? No. There isnt that much temp loss as my heater has about 3 feet of copper between the heater and the shower.
Where did I say over 120?
100? thats not even 2 degrees over body temp.

Just because you shower at 114 doesn't mean most can. The average hot shower is between 100 and 105.

Our bodies are not able to tolerate temperatures significantly over body temperature. Skin burns with water at 120 degrees.
