hot as an adverb? ...горячо

I'm trying to make sense of the word "hot" used as an adverb, as I'm told it is, eg. горячо.

In English we only use 'hot' as an adjective; по Русски, "горячий"

So, in Russian, if I'm dropped into a vat of boiling oil, do I die горячо?

If I serve food to you and the food is hot, we'd say, "I served it warm." (or hot); but obviously hot is still an adjective describing the food. How can hot be an adverb? I don't get it.

thanks dude! I guess we could transliterate it as "we talked hotly"
