desperanceOuchie. I spent the second half of last night's dinner party with my hand in a jug of cold water. Which kept heating up, faster than physics should allow; if I hadn't kept changing it for fresh, I think it would've ended up steaming.
See, what I did, first I forgot to serve the pork scratchings with the broccoli dish. Remembered them just as I was clearing plates. Went to get them out of the oven, putting on my heatproof gauntlet which I love. Took the dish out of the oven, put it on the counter, closed the oven, picked the dish up.
With, um, the other hand.
I have burned the thumb and two fingers, more badly than I can remember burning myself since I was a teenager. It stayed actively hot for hours. It's okay this morning, except that the skin feels like it has a layer of wax all over it; I suspect I'm going to lose some skin here. Sigh.
Oh, and I cut the top off my other thumb earlier, slicing the pork rinds. Those damn scratchings, they were just out to get me, coming and going...

Date: 2008-03-16 11:39 am (UTC)I did a similar thing with a brazing rod doing metalwork at school. I touched one end and thought "wow, that's really hot. I should pick it up by the other end". Unfortunately the other end was the actual end I'd been brazing with, got a nasty burn on two fingers, and after lunch that day had to do an O level mock (which funnily enough I failed).
