Your Daily Warning

[leahbobet]

See this?



Never assume a baking sheet is not hot. Ever. Or you will spend your afternoon in emergency feeling like a tool.

perhaps it is merely that i have done this myself, but yes. good advice, and also :(

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Yeah. This is me typing with one hand.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Thanks -- I am told they won't be 100% for like, three weeks. But I would be happy with 50% soonish. I think I earned this one allll by myself. :p

[shinryou.livejournal.com]

Ouch!!! That makes me cringe cause I remember how many times I have done that myself...

Feel better, heal quickly!

[melinda-goodin.livejournal.com]

Owwie. Cooking and cleaning can be hazardous to your health. So can a momentary blankness of my brain. I managed to burn both hands by trying to clean a porridge-gunked bowl with boiling water, and taking a wrong step to the sink. Ouch. I can empathise. I hope you feel better soon.

*blink blink*

Noted.

I'm fairly sure that you're going to have a pretty darn spiffy New Year's Party, so wishing you one is likely superfluous, but I'm doing it anyway.

[shewhomust.livejournal.com]

Ouchie!

What this situation requires is a very stylish mitten ("Tell me the truth, doctor - will I ever knit again?")

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Can't actually knit now (or type well; bandage too thick to bend fingers) and this is causing much consternation.

[kriz1818.livejournal.com]

Amen.

[hominysnark.livejournal.com]

*nods* I still have scars.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Yikes. I'm sorry.

My bad burn scar on my left hand from 2000 (note: use tongs to put things in hot oil, dammit) lets me know about changes in humidity. So maybe you'll get that not-so-superpower out of the deal.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

I kinda hope not. It's right on the finger pads. I use those. :/

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

I should have been clearer: it is the scar from a bad burn, not a bad scar from a burn. So it's just slightly visible, and it just slightly itches when humidity changes a lot. Which really could be worse, all things considered, even for bits you use; but I can see why you would want to avoid it anyway.

Yowch. Got the t-shirt. Sense-memory is a wonderful thing.

[kristine-smith.livejournal.com]

Ow.

I steam-burned two fingers once, so. Ow.

[asatomuraki.livejournal.com]

Owwie. I've done that. Perhaps not to the same extent, but Ouch. Once I jostled the board after ironing some stuff, sending the still-hot iron to the floor. Tried to catch it. Succeeded, but not for long. Darn those reflexes!

Hope it feels better soon.

[csinman.livejournal.com]

Aw! Okay okay, I always wanted to find out, but I haven't stuck my hand on a hot baking sheet (yet)!

Did burning your hand smell like something you should eat?

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

...I can't remember anything like smell, or maybe I would have needed to burn it worse for that. Everything kind of went very focused for the second or so I had that end of the baking sheet.

(Long story short, it was on stovetop, I wanted to move it, but one end was over oven vent and oven was on. Thought because close end was cool...well, just didn't think.)

[dreamnnightmare.livejournal.com]

Hot oil, for me. Def. an "I should not have done that" moment. One does not soon 4get such moments.

[coffeeem.livejournal.com]

Oh, dear. I do that with knives, so I sympathize. Have a safe and careful recovery. (Shall we send you oven mitts for a Twelfth Night present? No, no, just kidding. Get well.)

[jmeadows.livejournal.com]

Owie. I know what you mean. I (very dumbly) tried to pick up a hot fajita skillet with my bare hand. I probably should have used my brain a little more.

*sends tea and chocolate!*

[ringwoodcomics.livejournal.com]

...

Ouch!

[docdad2.livejournal.com]

Sigh
Have similar scars on hand and fingers.

[msisolak.livejournal.com]

Oh, ouch! Hope the healing begins stat!

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

Apparently baking sheets are more like guns than I had ever imagined.

Hope your recovery is swift!

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

I am trying to be mature and not throw it out for treachery. It is inanimate and then I'd just have to buy a new one.

[coffeeem.livejournal.com]

All baking sheets are always loaded.

Never point a baking sheet at anything you don't mean to bake.

Know what is behind the object you intend to bake.


It's almost enough to make a body consider those completely unnatural silicon baking pans.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

I like the silicon ones! You just floop 'em around (yes, technical term) and your baked item is free from its pan!

[cathemery.livejournal.com]

oh *dear*.

very big sympathy/empathy/vicarious agonizing.

[kmkibble75.livejournal.com]

I've learned such lessons once or twice myself... never a fun thing.

Here's hoping the bandages come off very soon.

[wirewalking.livejournal.com]

Oh my.

*casts high-level healing spells*

[tacithydra.livejournal.com]

No!

Bah, hot things, bah.
