Colder than hot

Does this make sense? What does it mean and is it correct?

The food I give my baby is always colder than it is hot.

Thanks

Did you perhaps paraphrase what you read?
For example: The food I give my baby is more likely to be too cold than too hot.

I mean that the food is closer to cold than it is to hot.

Is that correct?
The food is closer to cold than it is to hot.

Is it correct to say

She is nicer than she is pretty.

Isn't this the same form?

The food is colder than it is hot.

Thank you!

It is not a very natural expression.
The temperature of the food is 18 degrees Celsius.
The food is not hot, but it's not very cold, either.

Or use a word that describes the temperature: cool, lukewarm, warm, warmish, or tepid.
