— The Heavy cooking a perfectly moist steak
 ”

The Boiling Point is a promotional special taunt for the Heavy.

It functions almost identically to the Table Tantrum, but features a Joule sous vide cooker instead of a steel pot. The cooker boils a single steak wrapped in plastic, which Heavy catches in his mouth during the taunt, and plays a unique dinging noise upon conclusion of the taunt; the same noise the actual cooker plays when it finishes preparing its food.

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who purchased the Joule sous vide cooker and redeemed the promotional code given to them.
