    Question 3:
    Liquids
    A liquid that has been heated to the temperature of "Yad Soledes Bo,"
    i.e., a temperature at which one would withdraw one's hand from such a
    liquid due to the intensity of heat, is considered cooked.

    Most Poskim agree that Yad Soledes Bo is between 40 and 45 degrees
    Celsius, or approximately 110 degrees Fahrenheit.[11]

    That is the basic rule of thumb for Yad Soledes Bo.

[Footnote 11 reads:
    Shabbos KeHalachah, p. 24.

To which I would add: In contrast, Shemiras Shabbos Kehilkhasah 1:1
gives only the top of that range -- 45deg C, 113deg F. Gives it as a "lo
pachos mei-".
RMF in IM OC 4:74-75 gives a range. 110deg F lechumerah, but WRT an
item being cooked before Shabbos, so that colder is qulah, RMF requires
160deg F.
