Single clear word for 'hot food'


The question
In my native language we have two ways of saying the food is hot. One meaning spicy and one meaning too/very warm.


I am now looking for a way to use this sentence:




The food is ...{single word here}...



I want the meaning to be clear (the food is warm to the point where caution is recommended). If there is not a single word for this that is also fine, I could then at least start looking for better workarounds.


Thoughts so far
I always used 'hot' but that can easily be confused with spicy so I am currently using workarounds.


'Warm' can mean 'nice and warm' or 'too warm', so I am not satisfied by that either.
