The problem is that this forces you to make a confusing decision right at the start. You almost never know what temperature to heat something to -- you just want to put it in the oven for 30 seconds, see if it's good enough, and then repeat.

Or a problem solved by sane defaults: i.e. 65ish degrees is quite hot, whereas 55 is about the upper limit of long-term bearable on the skin.

Put that option as the heating default, with literally what I just wrote explaining it next to it, and problem solved.
