taking sides: burned vs. burnt

jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 2 June 2003 23:06 (twenty-one years ago)

once I was heating up some pasta and the pot was overflowing like an m-fer and I didn't have a hot pad handy so I tried grabbing the pot lid with a hand towel but FWOOF the fringe immediately caught fire on the gas, so I was holding a very flaming towel holding a very hot lid. I freaked, ran into the bathroom and chucked towel and lid into the toilet.

Anyway, keep it under cold water a while.

And I think burnt is an adj.

i blew up the lid of a "microwave safe" dish a few weeks back

i also scorched a hole through my oven mitt

obv i should not be allowed near a kitchen

jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 2 June 2003 23:22 (twenty-one years ago)

time to make dinner!

jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 2 June 2003 23:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Speaking of kitchen disasters:

Somehow I managed to make the glass lid of a saucepan I have explode, all by itself. I came into the kitchen the next morning and there it was, still intact, but shattered into those little tiny saftey glass cracks. I assumed Nalini had dropped it, turns out she assumed I had...so now we dont know how it happened! [cue twilight sone theme]

I burn myself all the time cooking. Best ever still has to be the time I chopped my pinkie at the barbecue a couple of weeks back and bled EVERYWHERE. I had been drinking of course and so my blood was not inclined to clot, so the bathroom ended up looking like a crime scene.

It doesn't bother me so much as long as the food's good.

Kids who put gel on their hair managing to set fire to their hands on Bunsen burners in old science lessons- classic.

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 2 June 2003 23:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Trayce, had you put the top in cold water directly after using it on the stove?

mmm, ramen.

That Girl (thatgirl), Monday, 2 June 2003 23:56 (twenty-one years ago)

and working in a deli I clipped the tip of my left index finger off with a paring knife while prepping some brussels sprouts.

oh and jess I like to throw in some frozen veggies in with ramen, still pretty cheap and has actual nutrition in it. green beans, peas, corn, hey you name it.

g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 00:04 (twenty-one years ago)

That Girl - no thats the strange thing! I set it back on the stove and it was fine and I went to bed.. and the next morning BOOM. I guess it was just a crappy saucepan :) Or maybe I have kitchen gremlins.

Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 00:09 (twenty-one years ago)

it decided it would rather kill itself than be used by you

electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 00:16 (twenty-one years ago)

was it over the pilot light, trayce? I shattered a dish once doing that.

teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 01:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeouch to everyone who has suffered! I've had my moments. Jess, get well soon...

Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 01:35 (twenty-one years ago)

*thunk*

*frying pan shatters*

Jess, please be careful.

I've had bad experiences with some supposedly microwave safe containers myself. A little melted plastic flavor with my meal, mmmmm.

Rockist Scientist, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 02:13 (twenty-one years ago)

jess should stick to eating boo-berry and froot broot

Tad (llamasfur), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 02:19 (twenty-one years ago)

(like me haw haw haw)

Tad (llamasfur), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 02:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Rub down some pork chops w/ garlic pepper, sear both sides on frying pan at high on the range; then toss seared chops into casserole dish half-full of pasta sauce and throw said dish into oven at around 300 for 30 minutes or until hot through (use fork and tongue test). Brilliant. No flying spattering oil involved, and your acquaintances will hail you as genius.

Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 03:27 (twenty-one years ago)

most annoying is burning and then re-burning the same part.

Chris Radford (Chris Radford), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 03:41 (twenty-one years ago)

the pain seems to have subsided for the most part. what was an ugly red blotch over most of my hand is now just a little mark. i heal fast, i guess.

jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 04:19 (twenty-one years ago)

i first read Millar's post as a burn-cure

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 05:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Jess is Wolverine!

Dan I. (Dan I.), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 05:34 (twenty-one years ago)

jess: it wz tyler durden, helping you "hit bottom"

Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 05:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Hope you're feeling better Jess. We had a kitchen incident the other day. We put 2 pizza boxes (with pizzas in them!!!) in the oven on a low heat, just to give them a top up & when i opened the door of the oven there was a load of smoke & one of the boxes was on fire! Much fun was had trying to put it out.

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:41 (twenty-one years ago)

ramen is not bad right out of the package, dip it in the flavor packet for a little flavor. (safe too)

kephm, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

not only did i KNOW this was going to be a jess thread, i really thought it was a revive! anyway, sorry jess. glad you are healing.

to bring some 'me' content to the post, last time i burnt myself was after touching some HOT METAL i had just cut with my ANGLE GRINDER!! manly!

mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

you are hank hill to my bobby

jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 18:14 (twenty-one years ago)

five years pass...

While cooking a peanut curry for lunch about an hour ago, I unwittingly left on the burner that I was using to boil potatoes. I also left a plastic spatula on this burner, and a few minutes later picked it up and screamed. So my hand is not only burned, but covered in black plastic.

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:43 (sixteen years ago)

sorry for your pain but that is kind of awesome

deeznuts, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:45 (sixteen years ago)

It looks kind of awesome! Feels v. v. bad, though.

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:46 (sixteen years ago)

pics or it didnt happen

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:46 (sixteen years ago)

are you a superheroine now, called Spatyla Woman, y/n?

Mr. Que, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:47 (sixteen years ago)

spatulawoman

Mr. Que, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:47 (sixteen years ago)

:(

i blame peanuts

gabbneb, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:47 (sixteen years ago)

wait the plastic is still on your hand, roxy???

sunny successor, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:48 (sixteen years ago)

Spatulass

HI DERE, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:48 (sixteen years ago)

okay that doesn't look like what I meant

HI DERE, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:48 (sixteen years ago)

Sunny, now it is just some bits of plastic, but the skin underneath is too sensitive to scrape it off of.

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:49 (sixteen years ago)

dan, it does and you know it.

my mom once put a fork, which she had left on the pan, in her mouth. It sizzled. She pulled it off and thank god it didn't scar or burn her tongue.

roxy, no pics, just hope you are feeling ok over there!

stevienixed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:49 (sixteen years ago)

we should make a spatula ass thread tho, i mean not to make fun of them but has anyone else seen those chicks? like their hips didnt grow for reason so they literally have no buttocks

deeznuts, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:49 (sixteen years ago)

Sunny, now it is just some bits of plastic, but the skin underneath is too sensitive to scrape it off of.

well that's a sucky superpower

(assuming you're okay)

HI DERE, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:50 (sixteen years ago)

i'm thinking Roxy Spatuhands. A bit like Ed Scissorhands. She goes through the kitchen trying to scoop up things, like eggs or something, but fucks it up every time.

stevienixed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:52 (sixteen years ago)

oh eek i don't know whether you should try to get the plastic off or let your skin heal a bit - if the plastic is just on the surface it'll probably just get pushed away by the healing skin. put some polysporin or something antibacterial like that on it later though!

spatulahands lol

rrrobyn, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:52 (sixteen years ago)

how do you even google this for advice?

sunny successor, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:55 (sixteen years ago)

pic here

it's not gross or anything

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:55 (sixteen years ago)

Roxy, no pics I said. Now you went and did it anyway and I'm extremely underwhelmed.

stevienixed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:56 (sixteen years ago)

And yeah, I'm fine, but burns are so fucking annoying. xpost

gabbneb, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:57 (sixteen years ago)

It ain't that bad!

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:57 (sixteen years ago)

what you need is a flesh colored spatula

sunny successor, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:57 (sixteen years ago)

It has two little blisters, but mostly just red, red skin. And black plastic.

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:57 (sixteen years ago)

lol sunny

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:57 (sixteen years ago)

I was expecting fingers replaced by mini spatulas. Alas no.

stevienixed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:58 (sixteen years ago)

You may want to reconsider the hospital if you start experiencing an almost-overwhelming compulsion to flip pancakes with your bare hand.

HI DERE, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:58 (sixteen years ago)

You are determined for this incident to make me into a superhero.

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:59 (sixteen years ago)

I am!

HI DERE, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 19:59 (sixteen years ago)

me too!

rrrobyn, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 20:00 (sixteen years ago)

hey me too

Mr. Que, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 20:01 (sixteen years ago)

do you feel a tingling in your body/ESP type feeling, like peter parker's spidey sense, only it is for pancakes and not spiders

Mr. Que, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 20:04 (sixteen years ago)

behold the primal power of PANCAKES!

Jarlrmai, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 20:07 (sixteen years ago)

my quality of life would take a tremendous dip if the fuck were burned from my hand.

chicago kevin, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 20:08 (sixteen years ago)

luckily, i don't use my pinkie much.

er, xpost
