That wonderful stuff: Lava

Air is a wonderful insulator and sucky means of heat transfer.
Boiling with 212 degrees water is MUCH faster than static baking heat of 450 degrees.
Also, humans are evolved to get rid of heat much better than most animals. I believe military studies showed that people can withstand baking temperatures for longer than it takes to cook a steak.. as long as plenty of water was drunk.
