Grabbed a 500° metal skillet handle. Boy, do I feel stupid!

Left hand is burnt all to shit. Took a percodan (oxy+aspirin) and 3
shots o' Wild Turkey. I gotta put my hand in cold water to wash off
the dried "aloe jell", which my friend swears on. The ice water is
the greatest relief of all. My friend sez the aloe will prevent
blisters and the pain will diminish in 4 hrs. Hell, the burn pain
will subside on its own in 4 hrs.

Boy, do I feel stupid!

(oh, I sed that already)

OUCH. Sorry about your hand. That sucks.

I almost did that once. Fortunately I felt the heat before a tight
grab. Didn't need glove when I put it in the oven.

I burned my left index finger, top only, by spilling the spaghetti
water on it. Did NOT have any cloth in my hand, so the water ran
off right away, and I was already standing at the sink, so used the
recommended treatment of cold water on it for more than 5 minutes.

Spaghetti went down the disposal right away, so I missed dinner,
but my finger is not nearly as bad as it could have been.
Sorry yours is worse.

But aloe jel OR anything else is really NOT GOOD for most burns.
If a burn is bad enough for anything other than water, it's bad
enough to see a Doctor.

Reviewed yesterday on ATK were pot holders. Winner was Oxo Good Grip,

Tip - don't put any form of ointment/cream/gel on a burn, just the
cold water.

You got it back asswards, dwarf... everyone who cooks *seriously* does
NOT burn or cut themselves.
After working in machine shops most of my life I can say some people

That you have never burnt yourself is simply preposterous. Do you walk

I'm not sure about that, docs always say it's better to allow the skin
to breathe, it heals faster.

Got some blisters on my fingers and hand. Nothing worse than 2nd

Old home remedies used to be butter or petroleum jelly. They should not
be used. This stuff was developed specifically for burns.

I disagree. I am not a doctor but I have had enough booboos over the
years. I always find that blisters and cuts heal much faster when
bandaged.

That's why I felt so stupid.

Had six pot holders, nearby. I jes wasn't used to handling a skillet
with a metal handle. Plus, I was ina hurry with a new recipe.
Despite all the cursing and flying silverware, the customer got fed
and sed the ribeye I'd jes killed myself over was cooked to
perfection.

I hate those frying pans and even the cooks on TV are wary of them, I think

It's a good design. Restaurants commonly put skillets of meat in the
oven to finish cooking. Most restaurant cookware does NOT have
anything BUT metal handles, for jes this reason.

It's also why most cooking schools teach their students to always grab
a pot/pan with a cooking towel, a lesson I forgot. Most professional
cooks drape the towel over their shoulder or tuck it in their apron.

BTW, most cooks on TV are rarely professional or are using brand new
home-style cookware from whoever is sponsoring the show. The only
place I've seen my cookware is on

My downfall has been cooking some low and slow in the oven in a pot with
the top on. I take it out and remove the top while I do something with
the food in the pot. Maybe I am too used to doing it on the stove and
forget that the lid has been in the oven and has not had a chance to
cool enough to touch it. I learned to set the lid down and set a pot
holder on top as a reminder that it is needed.

I feel your pain. I was excited to learn that All-Clad could go from
stovetop to oven, but I don't use the oven very much, so it took me a
while to put it into practice. By that time, I'd gotten used to
grabbing All Clad pans by the handle without a mitt - so I grabbed it
by the handle when I reached for it in the oven. YEOW! What was I
thinking? Now I use a black cast iron pan if I'm doing a stovetop to
oven dish, because I never touch cast iron handles unprotected.

I think it's a bad design for stovetop cooking, in the oven I would NEVER
grab it. As far as the cooks on tv go, I rarely pay attention to them. I
like to do things my way, with some recipes ideas from them.

It is just ti tree oil (meleleuca oil)

I agree with Dave, but everyone's experience is different.
I spilled simmering tomato sauce (it had been on for hours; I was
getting ready to can it) on my wrist. My doctor said to put a
thick layer of Vaseline on it and cover it with gauze and then an
elastic bandage. I got some Vaseline-coated gauze at the drugstore,
and used that plus an elastic bandage, and left it on for a couple days
without checking it. I changed it two or three times over the next week...
it stopped hurting after a day, and it never blistered or left a scar.

But others may have had opposite experiences. So I am saying this was
MY experience.

That's too true. BTW, I've never knowingly drunk Crystal Palace anything.

Even with oven mitts it is easy enough to get a burn pulling something
out of the oven.

Heck, I have gotten contact burns when using oven mitts to take
something out of the oven. Been burned by steam, too. The reason I
don't fry chicken anymore is because I got splattered in the 1980's when
the pop of the chicken in the oil fused my silk blouse to my chest.
OUCH! Blistered! Nope, I don't deep fry chicken anymore.

Anyone who cooks anything has gotten burned or cut at some point.

I remember getting into an argument with an older woman back in the
1980's. She must have thought I was a bit of an upstart. I was at a
party and a guest burned herself preparing appetizers in the kitchen.
The older women were all like "put butter on it". Oh, fer cryin' out
loud, don't do that! Just so happens the party was at a doctor's house
and he agreed with me. Just cold water, not ice, and definitely not
butter or ointment on a burn. If you must have a bandage, use loosely
wrapped gauze.

Yep. I managed to slice the side/tip of my finger less than a week
ago... was quite annoying having to keep a band aid on it until it
healed up enough. Had quite a few burns too in my day, mostly from
using a wood combustion stove

Indeed...
