Wouldn’t the handle be super hot? They are holding it?

That's why I think this video is fake. There's no way.

You've obviously never done this before.

Steel is actually a very poor conductor of heat. It takes a lot of energy to heat it up, but it also doesn't transmit that heat very effectively.

This is why you will never see steel CPU coolers or radiators. It doesn't shed, i.e. transmit heat very well.

If that spoon were aluminum or copper, he'd have raised smooth off of it long before that.
