If you're curious if a pan that's been in the oven for an hour is hot the answer is yes.

I am an idiot.

(big red splotchy burn, no blisters)

Oh good grief, I know this one from experience. If it's not glowing, steaming or otherwise giving some *visual* indication of its temperature, I am incapable of remembering it's hot.

*sends ice and sympathy*

[donutsweeper]

*ooh ice, that's better* I hate to say it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one

[mad_jaks]

Oh baby *hugs*

You kept it in cold water for at *least* ten minutes? Didn't you!

[donutsweeper]

ran cold water over it for about 5 min and then held an ice pack (wrapped in a towel) on it for another 10 or so

[mad_jaks]

That's my girl :D

[donutsweeper]

all there is a light splotchy bit now. I might ice it again once or twice, it's still a bit tender there

Feel really dumb though

[rustydog]

Owwwww. Even if it's not blistering, I know it hurts. Ice is your friend!

I can't seem to clear my arms of the inside of the oven door. It's *inside* the oven, I should know it's hot, too.

[donutsweeper]

I've done that too, but not as often and usually by accident.

This was just SO dumb- it's cast iron, of course it's going to be hot!

I'm going to ice it again soon. 10 min on 20 off if I remember my first aide correctly

Not that this burns, but I can't seem to clear doorways. My shoulders and hips are constantly bruised. My spatial sense is FAIL.

[donutsweeper]

OMG- I was going to post yesterday that it was my opinion that doorways shift as you try to go through them, just to make you smack into them!

[travels_in_time]

OW. Really sorry to hear that.

If it helps any, I've done it too, more than once...

[donutsweeper]

*hugsies* thanks, in a way it helps to know others have done it to

[smithy161]

Ouch >.<
Don't worry, I'm silly today too. I thought a beaker that had been on a bunsen burner for ten minutes wouldn't be hot and lifted it off with bare hands.

[donutsweeper]

YIPES!!!! Are you okay?

[smithy161]

Yep, no lasting damage and nothing spilled! It was stupid, though.

How's your hand? Did you get some ice - or frozen peas. Frozen peas are good.

[donutsweeper]

did cold water immediately, then an ice pack, then frozen potatoes (hash browns- so they were basically pea-sized)

Now there's a light splotchy bit on the side of the palm that aches a bit (where the burn was the worst) and most of the rest of the palm feels tight, but overall- not bad and could have been a ton worse.
