I was seasoning my cast iron pan

And damn if I didn’t burn myself taking it out of the oven. Even through a pot holder soaked in ice water

It’s only first degree burns so it’s whatever

But owww

My hands are meant for caressing and petting, not getting burned 😭

Isn't first degree burns really bad like, see muscle bad? Go to A&E

@Longpatrol 1st degree is red with no major blisters. It hurts, but holding it in cold water for a few minutes is usually enough. 3rd degree is what you’re thinking of.

@Longpatrol Nah that’s third degree. Redness with pain and no swelling…that’s first degree. It’s very minor.

Longpatrol · 31-35, M

@EBSVC ah! Ok, glad to hear it isn't as serious as I thought.

Zaphod42 · 51-55, M

Use a dry pot holder next time…the heat from the pan instantly boiled the water in the pot holder burning your hand.

Hope you heal up quick!

@Zaphod42 That makes so much sense and I feel like a dingus

Zaphod42 · 51-55, M

@EBSVC Don’t feel too bad…that knowledge was gained the hard way 😂

EBSVC · 41-45, T

@Zaphod42 it still hurts but I’m using the hand with no real additional pain. This will be a minor learning experience

Don’t wet it.

EBSVC · 41-45, T

@gregloa I won’t next time 🤣

A wet pot holder right there is your first mistake wtf bud

EBSVC · 41-45, T

@DrawntoaDistance Literally my first non-seasoned pan

Gibbon · 70-79, M

The wet potholder did it to you? That's a no-no. Instant heat transfer. No insulation at all.

EBSVC · 41-45, T

@Gibbon live and learn

But damn it hurts

Gibbon · 70-79, M

@EBSVC oh, I can imagine. I burned the hell out of my calve on a hot exhaust pipe once.
