I burn myself in the oven every time I cook, literally. I dont know how or why and it is always in the back of my mind. My knuckes always get it on either one of the racks or top of the inside of the oven. :mad:
I never burn myself on the stove. I treat it's heat with respect and care. Most times that means not too much, but reflecting that a hot pan is HOT! I always use the handles on the pans to lift them, and let them cool before trying to touch them. When I cook using hot oil, I watch the pan close and use a thermometer to make sure I don't overheat the oil and cause a fire.
I am usually pretty good. Back in JAN I did burn myself just slightly on my wrist and I still have a scar!
well, couple years ago, i was using the toasted sandwich irons and i nicked it when it was hot with my arm. Now the scar is hardly visible
I've burned myself with hot pans, even the handled ones. I grabbed the handle thinking it would be safe, but it was hot. It wasn't too serious of a burn though. I used to regularly burn myself whenever I cooked, before I was 12 or so. Now about the only time I get burnt is if the baby decides to come in the kitchen when I have the oven door open and its either burn my arm trying to elbow her out of the way or let her burn herself... Hmmm, big choice, huh?
