OK, I have just had it...I have never heard anyone ask this question
before but it comes up for me every time I try to do gung fu with my
yixing pot. The thing gets so hot (from pouring the hot water over it,
in it, steeping, etc.) as well as the cups getting hot...I have a very
difficult time doing this without some hurt fingers. Even the handle
of my yixing gets hot. So, for those of you who do this on a regular
basis, do I just live with it or is there some secret?

This is for
oolong btw so the water needs to be hot, I know. Thank-you in advance.
Melinda, gung fu-ing the last of my Bai Hao.
