If you have one of those fancy-pants fans above your range (which im sure you do) turn that on and place a pot-holder on the handle of the pot and quickly put it on your counter. (but dont rush yourself)
Steam burns are painful because they damage the skin just like any other burn. Steam burns hurt because the water in steam keeps the heat trapped in the skin.
To properly grip and handle a hot pot handle to prevent burns and accidents, use a dry cloth or oven mitt to grasp the handle firmly. Make sure your hand is positioned away from the steam and heat, and always be mindful of the hot surface to avoid burns.
Steam
steam causes severe burns because of change of state i.e. liquid to gas with effects our skin. where as boiling water is only liquid which is hot but it does not effect the skin more than water.Thus higher the temperature of steam as compared to water. cause more severe burns than boiling water

It is not really more. Steam is the gas form of water, and thus hotter than the liquid form. 1000C (at 1au at sea level) is the boiling point of water. 400C water will not burn you, but 990C will. Steam at 1010C will burn you, but steam at 5000C would burn worse. So your answer is steam is hotter, but how much more of a burn you get also has to do with the amount of steam or water you come in contact with, and the temperature the steam or water is.
if you mean what can steam do your skin, the answer is alot!!!! Have you ever experienced the feeling of steam hitting your arm after lifting the lid from a pot of boiling water? It hurts almost just as much as sticking your arm into the pot itself !!! to prevent burns from steam, hold the lid with a potholder and lift it AWAY from you, or towards the back of the stove, and slowly pull the lid away and avoid the steam. I HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION!!!!
Vapor steam cleaners are not dangerous if used appropriately. Just follow the instructions and it should be fine. Don't leave it unattended. And watch around small children as the steam can get very hot causing burns.
Steam at 100 degrees Celsius is more dangerous than water at 100 degrees Celsius because steam carries more heat energy and can cause deeper burns on contact with skin. Additionally, steam has a greater ability to penetrate clothing and protective gear, increasing the risk of burns.
You should expect to pay around 800 dolalrs for a mid-level steam cleaning machine. They have a wide price range.
Hot water has a maximum temperature of 100 degrees centigrade. If it goes beyond that it is now steam. Steam burns are more dangerous because they are much hotter than water.
Because it's hotter than the skin can stand.
