Water remains liquid at higher temperatures than 212F if the pressure goes up, so any liquid trapped between the requires a higher temperature to become steam at the required pressure.
So now I've stuck my neck out, just waiting for someone to point out the hidden flaw in my work...
>Saturated steam and water at 550 F corresponds to a pressure of 1035 psig.
