At precisely what temperature is the flame
reminds me of the time someone once asked me to boil the kettle for a nice cup of tea, I said no.
vaporising the stainless steel kettle (via an intervening liquid state) would involve attaining a temperature in excess of 12,000 degrees kelvin. This would not be possible in the environs in which we were located.
