The problem with thick fries (sometimes called "steak fries") is that they radiate heat very slowly. You can pick up a thin, crunchy fry, blow on it, and it will be ready to eat in seconds. The thick fries, while delicious, have burnt me many times.

"burnt me many times" - sounds like a bug to me
may I suggest you use an alternative product - a packet of potato chips. They are tasty, salty, delicious, cooked in oil and bad for your heart - all the properties of fries but without the objectionable burning sensation that is an intrinsic property of hot foods.
