Again, that's "dye", not "day"/"aye". (Also I wasn't counting contractions of words ending in "-y" + a suffix, since that seemed clearly unrelated to the German loanword process, but that's more of YMMV thing.) Edit: wait, you were p…

In an open atmosphere, steam is 212F/100C (slightly less for higher altitudes). The point is "steam" doesn't exist at 350F unless it's in a pressure cooker. It's a valid preparation technique but not common in German kitchens from my experience.

Steam heated by boiling water at sea level can't exceed 100C, but if you further heat the gaseous steam (e.g. against a hot metal surface of some kind) you can heat it further. This is called superheating. Once it's superheated, it behaves just like any other gas - can be as hot as you like (until it chemically breaks down at extreme temperatures). In an oven at 200C, for example, with a little bit of water, the wate…

What you are describing is just normal heating, not superheating. "Superheating" means to heat something beyond the point of phase transition without it changing phase. Superheating would be heating water beyond 100 degree celsius. If it's steam, you can't superheat it any more, you just heat it. You are correct that there is no limit how much you can heat steam.
