The thermometer needs to be between 250 and 240 degrees fahrenheit (74 to 76 degrees celsius).; [+] If you feel no heat, the water will either be room-temperature or cold. Do not stick your hand directly into water-either in a kitchen or in nature-without first holding your hand above it to gauge the temperature.;
