Let me introduce you to the concept of vapor pressure. The volatility of a material depends on the temperature. Even cold water will still evaporate slowly. Instead is being a binary things, the vapor pressure will gradually increase as the temperature increases.
Comment on Pasteurization means that most commercially sold milk is technically Evaporated Milk.

Like how salt pools will evaporate out water despite the earth not constantly being at 100° C.

It’s impossible to heat something in a sealed container?
But, regardless, by that definition, all liquids are evaporated liquids, because all liquids evaporate at least a little by the time you get it in your pie-hole.

No, but pasteurization technically is done with an open top container
And, yeah that is technically correct, hence it being in showerthoughts
