eli5: Why do noodles and things like potatoes take so long to cool down after cooking?

Just need a scientific (Thermochemistry) explanation.

Because they're full of hot water. Water has a high heat capacity, while the heat conductivity between the surface of the noodle/potato and air is poor (mostly coming from the water evaporating).

Tl;dr they hold lots of heat and shed it slowly.
