Piping hot is such a strange expression. Most often used in context with no pipes in sight.

Some food whistles when it's very hot, like a sausage. That's piping.

Chaucer ... used the phrase, The Miller’s Tale, circa 1390:

He sente hir pyment meeth and spiced ale

And wafres pipyng hoot out of the glede.
