Owwwwwwwwww! Without thinking, I just picked up a cast iron Creuset lid that had come straight from the hot oven. I'm an idiot.
The tap is still running, right?
lol...I gave it a good run for sure
Last bad one for me was picking up a stainless steel saucepan. Gas was slightly of centre so had been heating the secondary handle. Ended up with Bacarat (reversed though) branded into my hand because I didn't want to drop the boiling pasta water all over myself. Bloody hurt that one.
You. posted that on the day..?
or was it a remnant of a dream I had.?
Yeah, I think I did. Seems I'm retelling stores then hey...
I picked up a glass tube straight out of a furnace, it wasn't glowing but it was bloody hot. A few hundred Cs. For a few weeks my hand looked like that nazi guy from raiders of the lost ark, seared into a grasp shape. It was fairly painful. Luckily no scars.
The danger of heat can't be seen with eyes, it has to be learnt well for each situation.
Holy shit, that sounds awful. Glad you're healed.
We have an unwritten rule in the house that anything in the kitchen that's hot from the oven gets a towel or mitt thrown over it, but I should have known better than to assume. All good now.
Oh Jesus, I’ve done something similar without thinking.
Keep it cool, cold water and if you have aloe Vera that will help.
I think I got to the cold tap quickly enough to avoid any damage, still stings tho. On the plus side, I have no fingerprints on 3 out of 5 digits - what should I do with this superpower?
Well seeing as you don’t have fingerprints on some of your fingers you could get away with murder!
