Julia Child did some 400° cooking, for a science-oriented TV series called "The Ring of Truth": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ3mjb9BSaU&t=850s
Later in the episode, she got to cook a diamond to amorphous carbon. "I'll remember that recipe -- one carat diamond, two and a half hours, three thousand degrees": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ3mjb9BSaU&t=1458s

I've also been watching CtC quite a bit for the last couple of years. Unfortunately, they've lately been doing a lot of long, highly technical puzzles, which I don't find as interesting (though their shorter videos are still good). If anyone's interested in checking them out, I'll recommend a couple of older videos that I really enjoyed:

If you enjoy watching people solve sudokus and other puzzles, I'll also recommend Rangsk (generally does the daily NYT hard sudoku, a 6x6 intro-to-nonstandard-rules "sudoku adventure", and a collection of wordle-ish (but not not actually wordle) games), Bremster, and zetamath (does quite a few live solves with audience participation, as well as reaction vids to other people solving his puzzles).
