    Top tip: If you've just cooked a load of chicken thighs in you favourite copper-coated deep pan and left it in the oven to finish, but have perhaps left the oven on by accident, don't 30 seconds after putting it on the stove try to move the pan using the bare metal handle with your raw pink fleshy hands.

    I've just cooked the palm-side of all my fingers on my left hand. It would be an understatement to say that it hurts a bit even after a half hour in cool water with aloe.

    Fucking idiot.

    • Been here. Also do not recommend.duckseason
    • That's a mistake most people, myself included, only make once. and yes, searing pain.BuddhaHat
    • Once did this on pipework fresh from a brazer.i_monk
    • hope copper is on the outside.pango
    • Once I was finishing some chops in the oven, pulled them out and checked the temp, 5 under my target and I immediately grabbed the handle to pop them back in.garbage
    • I had just pulled them out of a 400 degree oven, and somehow forgot that fact 10 seconds later. Fellow fucking idiot.garbage
    • Warm water rinse, not cold for the next time it happens.garbage
    • I seem to do this just about once a year religiously with my steel-handled Le Creuset enamelled cast iron frying pan. Punches for me.Continuity
    • Been there... Burnt my right hand. What a pain for weeks! The wound that cost me the most to heal in life...OBBTKN
    • i like cookwares with out heat resis rubber handles. that means i can put them in oven. but ya... i burn myself time to time.pango
    • aw mate, that's a stinger. I've done this with my cast iron pans just cooking on the stove. They weigh a lot so need to get a good grip tooIanbolton
    • Get yourself some of those greasy burn pads + gauze to put on top + stretch net to keep it in place. You'll be glad you did.spl33nidoru
    • With small stretch nets you can do that to each finger individually and keep your hand functioning. Change every day.spl33nidoru
    • For minor, non-serious burns, use vinegar immediately (not hours later) after burning yourself. Gets rid of the pain.jagara
    • oeef. friend of my did this as well. second day it gonna look nasty. Make sure you use the non-sticky bandage on your skin.milfhunter
    • Oh and never purge the blisters. Your body is producing this fluid for a reason.spl33nidoru
    • haha, thanks all - this isn't my first rodeo, but it's probably the wildest beast I've messed with :) Pain's gone and burns are better than expected...Nairn
    • ..and my palms isn't going to be one giant blister as first feared. It did take about two hours for pain to subside, using my preferred treatment.Nairn
    • Ouch. Have done this more than once. I tend to leave a tea towel wrapped around the handle after I take it out now - and leave it there until washing up time.mort_
    • Ugh, I have the Le Creuset braiser. I love it, but that thing is fucking daring you to forget how hot the handles are. Happy recovery.garbage
