Particularly when you’re about twelve tokes deep, choose to whip up a filet mignon, and overlook the fact that the pan handle, which you tossed into the oven a while back, will be scorching at around 425 degrees by the time the timer dings and you reach in to grab it.

Fortunately, I don’t have any shows scheduled for the next few weeks. But yeah, make sure to take care of your hands, particularly if they’re your main livelihood.

Whoa, shitty. Hopefully you realized before there was too much damage and you have a speedy recovery.

Only 12 tokes? Lightweight! :rofl

Seriously though, I hope the damage wasn't too severe and you have the speediest recovery.

Yeah, I let go as soon as I felt pain. Doesn’t appear to be third degree, but I did leave some skin on the handle of the pan. It sucks because it’s my fretting hand and the burn is basically my entire palm, middle, and ring fingers. Fuck.

Hope that you recover as soon as possible.

If I am experimenting and preparing something for the first time, I give up the moment there is any danger of overcooking the food or getting my hands hurt in some way.

Being clumsy, I have endured a few non-serious burns growing up. I have always been scared of them.
 
Once i decided to burn alhocol (ipa 99%) vapors inside an old bottle (don't ask me why, justbecause, haha). It made a nice reactive jet from right on my thumb. Good to have a thick skin on it, it was just burned my nail a little bit & skin around. The smell made me hungry.

Ahh. about cooking: don't cook naked, my rule #0.
 
Sorry to hear this Dude! I did pretty much the exact same thing 5 or 6 years ago!! Iron skillet on the grill, I was in a hurry (had gotten some cooking started in wrong order) and grabbed the pan to bring it into the house with zero protection on my hands ;~(( Ended up in the emergency room as I have no clue about how to assess burn severity. Hope you heal quickly!!! FYI, I have not done it since and have hundreds of times, given the pan handles several looks and assessments before touching them, and it is all due to that incident ;~))

My dad said to me years ago, “No one ever thinks when they wake up in the morning that today is going to be the day they lose a finger or a limb” when we were discussing work-related accidents. It was the first thing that ran through my mind, before the pain, when I ran my middle finger straight into the blade on a tomato slicer when I worked at Subway as a teen and that incident has caused me to think about that statement almost every day I’ve grabbed my keys to leave for work.

I think about it every time I get ready to do something strenuous or by myself when I know I should have someone assisting. Yesterday I was moving some folding tables and almost snapped my finger when it got caught on the foldable legs and the whole thing fell down, I was waiting for it to happen because that thought ran through my head first.

Of course, when I got home 4 hours later and went to change a roll of TP, my finger got caught behind the knob on the cabinet door as I kicked it shut with my foot and had me yelp out due to almost snapping my damn finger off. :rofl
 
For me it's over use -rock climbing, Mt biking with tons of rattling on the bars riding chunky terrain. And skiing which is pushing on poles

Parafin wax helps to increase blood flow. Also, cold water to warm water -contrast bath helps too!
 
For me, it's every time I step up to a table saw. That little voice says, "Use the push-stick. DO NOT reach behind the blade." And I listen.

Ran into a guy who used to work for me who had reached around the blade, and he cocked the wood ever so slightly, and in the blink of an eye it pulled his hand into the blade, cutting 3 fingers. He said it took several surgeries, but his hand was never the same.
