Is blowing on food really effective?

Just wondering, when you have a really hot cup of coffee or tea, is blowing on it worth it? If giving it cold breath a couple times will only bring the water temperature down an unnoticeable amount, then it's just better to let it wait in room temperature. Same applies to meat or vegetables.

It does create areas of low pressure, but it also creates regions of high pressure. I believe what really happens is an increase in collisions of air molecules across moist surfaces which makes it more likely for water molecules to escape. If you blow over a glass of water you see that the water ripples, this reduces surface tension and over a large surface area than the area which is a concave surface. The fact that some water may be literally picked up by the stream of air is also a factor.
