Flames! Flames on the Side of my Face!

You know when you need to sauté something in oil (spiced clarified butter in my case), when you turn the temp on to high to get it nice and hot and then leave the kitchen to quickly check something about the recipe on your computer

Poor hand!

I know! I'm contemplating opening that main blister, it just bothers me so much how big it is. It doesn't hurt with the cream, I just hate its existence. I know I shouldn't, but...

I have to admit that I often pierce my blisters (50% of the time?) I don't think I've ever had one that big, though...

It definitely looks temping, but I don't know...

WTF did you not have a lid for the pan? That is like cooking/fire safety 101. Also, baking soda is good for fires, but you need a lot of it.

The pan doesn't have a lid! It is my giantest pan and I use silver foil if I need a "lid" for simmering, but it doesn't have a real lid.

If I had just walked backwards while carrying pan, it wouldn't have burned me. The burning came from when I walked toward the door holding it, and the fire blew back over my hand :'(

Buy a cheap lid for this pan before you use it again. Conveniently, a lid bigger for the biggest pan can cover every other pan.

My advice: get one of those fire blankets and hang it next to the stove. My thing is leaving eggs and heat packs to boil and forgetting I've put them on.

I wanna try molecular gastronomy too!

Heat packs?
