If so, is the amount of heat transferred sufficient to cause first,
second or third degree burns?


A couple of tidbits of information:

1. "First Degree" = Reddening of the outer layer of the skin [Epidermis] ~
Sunburn, Scalding
2. "Second Degree" = Blistering of the outer layer of the skin ~ Severe
Sunburn, Severe Scalding
3. "Third Degree" = Charring of the outer layer of the skin ~ Backing up to
an operating Cutting Torch's flame

The MOST that a 212F/100C liquid can cause is Second Degree.
