As he so often does, Mike cooked tasty dinner tonight. One of the components had been in the metal-handled pan in the oven.

Mike served up, and brought the plates through. I heard something sizzling in the kitchen and went to check. "Tsk," I thought, "Mike has put a pan with scrapings in the bottom back onto a hot stove!"

So I picked it up to move it.

Then I put it back down with extreme prejudice.

And now I have a bag of frozen peas.

Ow, well done!

One hand or both? You were able to type so I assume just one. Frozen peas are good.

Just one and - no idea why - they left, fortunately.

Am slightly worried about vaguely remembered first aid courses saying that if it still feels hot after n minutes then it's a problem, and I'm sure n was fewer than 60. Which it's been more than....

They left? Ah, the left (which would be more of an issue for me than you...)

I wouldn't worry if there isn't serious blistering, you are doing the Right Thing.

Oh, and I almost forgot, I found a use for THAT Christmas present.

Ouch!

Speaking as one who has done something like that all too often, the bag of frozen peas is necessary (though you don't want to keep a bag of frozen peas on the burn too long, as that can create its own burn.) I tend to use ice cubes in a basin of water for a hand burn, but you use what you have.

Did the same yesterday, and I was the one doing the cooking. Sometimes the brain just does not react to known information.

I am used to doing this to myself but that's when I'm preparing the meal - there is injustice if you're not the one cooking.

If the Fishlifters are reading this (I know they still lurk even if they don't post) I do wonder if "And now I have a bag of frozen peas." might not now replace "and then I fell off a gun emplacement". Ask them for details if this does not make sense., Or better yet, make up your won explanation.

D'oh.

A burn is my standard kitchen injury. Julia's standard kitchen injury is a cut, but this is because she has spent all her life with blunt knives and when I arrived I brought really really sharp knives with me. My standard kitchen injury is a burn because I'm routinely an inattentive idiot even if, like FJM above, it's been me that's been doing the cooking.
