Don't pick up a heated-up frying pan by the sides

Ow. One finger seems to have blistered and popped instantly, leaving a large round gape with a big pile of skin over one side. Two others are blistering nicely.

WIHSKEY PLAESE.

are you quite certain that's not what got you into this predicament?

your username is particularly appropriate today

Positively no whiskey involved. The last booze I had was a few nights ago when I utterly hammered an industrial size bottle of Pimms. I'm still not sure whether that counts as hardcore or not.

Yes my username is mocking me at the present time.

They have handles for a REASON, guy.

for some reason, this reminds me of slocki's smartie experiment.

A week or two ago we were out to eat at some place that had candles on the table in spherical glass candleholders, and I decided to move one for some reason, so I picked it up by GRABBING ON TO THE BURNING HOT GLASS WITH MY BARE HANDS, and I realized it was really hot but I didn't want to drop it and break it so I had to just move it and burn my fingers. That sucked.

Ow. Another handy tip from experience: only one end of a soldering iron is actually the handle.

My fingers hurt.

I keep reading this thread title as "Don't pick up a two-headed frying pan by the sides."

...WHEN I'M NOT GETTING POXY FULED!

Nor from underneath, I'd advise as well.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 4 August 2005 18:55 (twenty years ago)

Also don't put your face in one and press down.

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Thursday, 4 August 2005 18:59 (twenty years ago)

if you do, use olive oil.

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Thursday, 4 August 2005 18:59 (twenty years ago)

Not the extra virgin stuff though, that's for salad dressings.

to avoid future mishaps of a similar nature sprinkle some flour on the handles to remind you it's HOT! They do this in restaurant kitchen's I'm told as a warning to "beware" when many people are working and may not know that someone else just pulled that VERY HOT pot outta the oven. Also, as soon as you know you're burned - plunge the burned hands into a pitcher of ice water. Cools it quick and keeps fingers from continuing to "cook" (yes, like they tell you when you're blanching veggies – they continue to cook even after they are removed from heat. Ewww. Ow!)

Please read the thread Wiggy. Your slipshod attitude to posting insults not only my injury but also the very concept of common decency.

― On one hand I've got myself to blame (Lynskey), Thursday, 4 August 2005 19:08 (twenty years ago)

you've got to be retarded or drunk to do this.

Or Superman!

Girlfriend here.
I'm not very good at sympathy, especially when experience has taught me that even though he's SCREAMING THE HOUSE DOWN, it's probably not that bad an injury. He has zero tolerance for pain.
Yes he has a three nasty blisters, and the burst one does look impressive, you can see all the veins really clearly under where the skin is missing. I thought it was quite cool, but I haven't mentioned this till now because I can't deal with vomit.

Dear Boyfriend. Next time you hurt yourself can you stop screaming for long enough to let me know what you've done. It's sort of hard to tell what's wrong when you're curled up in a ball on the living room floor SCREAMING! I thought you'd blinded yourself.

Oh also next time, try not to throw the tea towel on the lit stove, I can only deal with one crisis at a time.

HAHAHAHAHA

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 4 August 2005 19:19 (twenty years ago)

Was it a valuable tea towel?

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 4 August 2005 19:21 (twenty years ago)

it can't be that bad. he was still able to type. i assume he uses his hands for this?

― Kim (Kim), Thursday, 4 August 2005 19:21 (twenty years ago)

Oh, ok...hmmm...let me think up a really good insult for you...how bad are the fingers? Maybe just cut the F-er's off entirely and put them on some bread and have a (drum roll please) a KNUCKLE SANDWICH. There, satisfied? Fool! wtf were you thinking did ya think the oven doesn't make things hot? Perhaps some afternoon play on the highway will help ease the pain.

― Wiggy (Wiggy), Thursday, 4 August 2005 19:25 (twenty years ago)

Well unfortunately I can relate to this problem. Just a few months ago I did it too. A cast iron skillet on the stove top got the better of three of my fingers. Jesus H. Eff'n Holy Mackeral it does bring the pain. Spent the afternoon with hand immersed in a bucket of ice water.

And as long as I'm letting it all out; Yes, I have accidentally grabbed the wrong end of a soldering iron. I used to think of myself as a reasonably normal person, but now I dunno.

...then there was the time I knelt near a campfire, felt a prickling sensation through my jeans covering my knees and reached down to grab the prickly plant that was there and chuck it away. That I grabbed what in fact was a hot if dark coal proved to be a problem. Though ten years old, I was rather annoyed with myself.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 5 August 2005 00:29 (twenty years ago)

I did this with a burning hot test tube in science class once. I'd been boiling something in it over a bunsen flame and then I grabbed the bloody glass test tube with my bare hand! WTF was I thinking! Very blistery fingers did result :(

I think anyone who has used a soldering iron more than once has done this. At a certain point you start reaching for the iron without looking and learn your lesson.
