I remember my mother teaching me how to check the temperature of my little brother’s bottle by sprinkling a bit the warm formula on my elbow. Not sure why the elbow, seems like (in retrospect) the back of a hand would have been just as good, perhaps even better.

He elbowed the noodles in the soup … and called it macaroni.

A better way to test the temperature of the soup would be to dip his toes in it. Everybody knows that.

We used to check the bath water like that for the temp, and sprinkle milk on our inner wrists so baby had the right temp to drink.
But a cook sticking his elbow in the soup is a no no! ☺️☺️☺️☺️. Ew

Now that you’ve tested it, you can take it back and dump it.
