Ever burned yourself on the stove?

oh peacherina, you ARE accident-prone!

When I was young a nearby neighbor's house caught fire from a cigarette smoldering in an ashtray, and it was tragic. Ever since then, I've been the most careful person with fire, heat, and electricity. I have 3 sets of quality pot holders in my kitchen. I think, hmm, could this burn me? If the answer is maybe, then I use more caution than normal.

I've never burned myself, except when oil sizzles and the little spatters get on my skin.

The worst burn I have ever had was when I was in shop class. I was welding (making a branding iron). I had just heated up a piece (part of a letter H) that was the same size as 2 other pieces. I accidentally picked up the piece I had just heated up thinking it was one of the other 2 pieces that looked just like it. I heard a sizzle...I would estimate that the piece was around 800-900 degrees farenheit *seeing as how it was just red (about 1200 degrees)*.

One time I was canvassing and I saw a house on fire and the family standing outside and fire trucks were coming and I asked how it happened and they said it was something with the stove. And I've burned myself on the stove at least once.

funny topic.
I never got that.
But a boy deadly injured by the hot oil near my house. His right face is totally damaged. He did sucide later because of his face.

I'm sittin in peacherina's boat!! I do this almost on a daily basis. Not usually on the burners ... although once (using a gas stove) I made quite a mess with a boil over so I moved the pan to another flame, and grabbed the "thing" that the pan sits on not realizing that DUH obviously it's gonna be hot!!!!

Ahhhhhhhh-----the sickening smell of burnt flesh---- the memory-never goes away, does it???????? How do cannibals stand eating human flesh???????? ughhhhh. Yeah, I've been there, burnt that, and also have inflicted cuts from freshly sharpened knives. How a meal gets made around here without the EMS assisting is beyond me. Ha!!!!

I remember once I was baking a roast (before i went healthy) i was doing it seems like a million things at once and reached in the oven (thought I was invincible I guess) and grabed the pan with my bare hands Ouch

I've never actually burned my hand on the stove. I have burned myself of pots & pans getting them out of the oven or off the stove.
