Answer:
There are certain times in life we are told to use a liquid that is lukewarm, mainly when we are bathing or feeding a baby, and when we are baking with yeast. For those of us who are not experts at either, this direction can be stressful—how warm is lukewarm? What will happen if it is too hot? Or too cool? We know (and don't want to think about) what will happen if the liquid is too hot to bathe or feed the baby, but what about when using yeast in a recipe? Before we get into those details, it is important to understand what lukewarm really means.
