bath temperature

How hot, water?

Bath temperature refers to the temperature of a liquid bath used in scientific, industrial, or culinary contexts—not typically a bathtub.

In chemistry, a water bath or oil bath maintains samples at controlled temperatures: Keep the reaction at a bath temperature of 60°C.

In cooking, especially sous vide, bath temperature determines doneness: Set the bath temperature to 135°F for medium-rare steak.
