Question

On a recent camping trip we were baking potatoes and toasting a few marshmallows on a metal grid over the embers of a fire. Whilst drinking a beer I thought: if I could get my fire hot enough I would be able to melt the metal grid (perhaps not at campfire temperatures) but if I did melt the metal the potato would either burn away or turn into something which resembles a lump of coal; it would not melt like the marshmallows do if left too close to the heat for too long. I'm pretty sure that most things can exist as a solid, liquid and gas so my question is: what would I have to do to melt my potato to a liquid like i can melt a marshmallow. ...and could I do it outside my tent and with a beer?

So, why don
