Jar o' steam

alias_sqbrSomething mildly cool I haven't noticed before:
I emptied a big, very cold, mostly empty jar of pasta sauce into a bubbling, steaming pan. I then put some tap water into it and to my surprise a bunch of misty water vapour came out. I poured the saucy-water into the pan and captured some more steam, and it sat inside the jar, swirling, for quite a while (got bored of watching pretty quick, but lets say at least 30 seconds). I guess it's the combo of hot, humid air and cold jar, but it's funny I haven't noticed it do that the gazillion other times I've cooked the same way.
