Right, so how much water will boil off.

with delta(E) = 0 = Qshoe + Qsteam
-Qshoe = Qsteam
208076.96J = L Msteam with L being the latent heat of vaporization = 2256 kJ/kg = 2256000 J/kg
Msteam = .0922kg = .0922L

Awesome! Thank you very much for all of the guidance, I think it helped me to understand the concepts here much more

That's a good result then.
