Depending on what you are using to read temps, those values could be incorrect. IR temp sensors have an emissivity setting, which compensates for the different rates at which certain materials (Al vs plastic), finishes (bare metal vs anodized vs paint), and color (black vs white) emit heat. If it's too hot to hold for less than 10 seconds, it's too hot IMO...
