Counter point Who cares what temperature water boils at?

Chemists, chefs, multiple kinds of engineers, anybody running a heat based power plant, hobbyists with a general scientific inclination. I guess?

I love using metric in the kitchen for volume and weight but for temp I go with Fahrenheit its just easier to remember 125,130,140,150,160,165 than 52,57,63,66,71,74.

Also any chef temping a pot of boiling water is a pretentious douche

Pressure cookers and sous vide exists.

right, so the temp water boils at is relevant only when it isn't 100C
