Boil it how much you can boil.
Gold does not react with water or steam. i wouldn't totally agree with the above statment. There are 5 metals which don't not just 1...these are: .lead .copper .mercury .silver .gold
When we boil water and expose the steam (water vapor) to a cold surface, it will condense into tiny drops of water on the cold surface. If you can see the 'steam'rising above the water, it has already condensed into tiny droplets of water in the cool air.

Steam is produced when water vapour condenses in air. If the air in a vessel is cold enough, steam can be produced in it, open or closed. Mostly, say in a saucepan, the air above the boiling water is heated in the process of boiling, so it is too hot for the water vapour to condense in the saucepan. However, if you pour some very hot water into a cold bath (for example) you may well notice clouds of steam forming above it.
The cold water is used to cool down the steam in the cylinder of the engine. A jet of water from the cold-water reservoir enters the cylinder at the end of the up-stroke. This creates a vacuum due to the condensation of the steam. The pressure of the air above the piston now forces it down, raising the pump rods. This allows the engine work on indefinitely.(check the related link for an illustration)
Steam fog, also known as sea smoke, forms when cold air moves over warmer water, causing the water to evaporate rapidly and create a foggy layer above the surface.
Cold steam is not a correct term because steam, by definition, is water vapor that has reached a high temperature. If it's cold, it would just be water vapor or mist.
Water
As steam cools it reverts back to fluid-- water.
The steam from a kettle will hit the cold window surface and lose heat rapidly, causing it to condense back into water droplets. This is because the cold window cools down the steam quickly, which is why you can see the steam forming water droplets on the window.
I think you'll find that they only steam up when going from cold to hot. This is the condensation process
pretty much anything that's body temperature and a bit moist will steam if exposed to cold.
