scalding is too general of a word to use because if you touched
something hot enough to scalded your finger, you would end up with
a blister, as from 1st or 2nd degree burn, regardless of contact with
air or metal. 'pdf hot' would be more appropriate. ;-)

besides, fingers are not the best temperature gauges, readout is not
precise, erratic and varies too much.

what i did a few years back, i bought for $29.95, on sale, a Cen-Tech
Infrared Thermometer from;

  http://www.northerntool.com/

they now have an Ironton Infrared Thermometer for $49.95;

for less, do not know how good, radioshack has an infrared thermometer
on sale, if you can find a store with one, for $19.97;

http://comingsoon.radioshack.com/radioshack-ir-thermometer/2200170.html

much more accurate than fingers and because of no contact, no burn your
fingers.

what is 'sensors' telling you about temp and speed?

yes, they do.
