Chicken thighs started in skillet then roasted in oven, with a sauce of mushrooms, garlic, chicken stock, oregano, thyme, basil, and an eensie bit (1/4c) of cream, Parmesan, and ground mustard, with roasted Brussels sprouts on the side.

—this would have been a lot more enjoyable had I not grabbed the bare handle of the skillet sitting on the rangetop that had been in the 400 degree oven for 20 minutes with my bare right hand to move it out of the way. Waaaahhh. I haven’t done that in years.

I have temporarily suspended the prohibition on alcohol for phase 1 of South Beach, because frankly, this hurts like a sonuvabitch.

Dinner tasted great, other than the bit about DH having to cut up my food for me.

That works also. When I was little my granny always used lard, or butter. Burnt myself on a cast iron skillet she had on her coal stove. She had some butter on the counter, dabbed a spoonful on, and it helped!

Cold water, running from the faucet or in a cold compress, to pull off the heat and stop the cooking of the skin and subQ layers. No direct ice, which can cause more tissue damage. Then gut it out with painkillers. Aloe is good. Butter... well maybe tomorrow once the initial damage is done. Thanks, y’all.

I know not to do this! 1580089935555.gif1580089939814.gif1580089943166.gif

Like a dumbass I opened a radiator cap in a hot car radiator, spewed boiling hot water all on my chest. It started turning red and my wife got some pure aloe lotion and put it in there. Eight hours later you couldn’t tell I had been burned.

Thank you for the reminder! I think we have some around here somewhere. Off I go.

Been there done that. Momentary lapse of thinking at all.

Electrician at work gave me stuff when I grabbed a skillet, still in the oven, but had to go into work that night. He said keep applying til the burning stopped. Worked.

It was vaseline intensive care lotion with aloe.

Hate when I do that. And I feel stupid I have done it multiple times.

Have used cast iron a long time. Stove & grill. Hasn't happened yet. Been close. Seems like there would be a market for pot holder sleeves for bare handles

I even have some, plus just a pot holder with a sleeve. They work like a champ if you have the sense to use them.

I ALWAYS put it on, because I’m afraid that DH will grab it. But he was upstairs on the phone to his younger daughter, and so of course, I knew that I wouldn’t do that.

herp derp

Pure aloe is best, take it from someone that burns on occasion. Butter is never a good idea, seals in the burn, if just home remedies, mushed up raw .potato will pull out the burn, but it takes awhile (during that time, run to the local drug store and grab some burn cream).

It wrong to laugh real hard at this? Sorry you're hurt. Who sells the sleeves? Googled. I'm buying some these tomorrow

Well, the tube of aloe has vanished, but I found a can of Walgreens’ 15% menthol, and a tube of Tar-zhay cortisone cream with aloe, so that plus the bourbon should accomplish something.

— whoa the Walgreens menthol thingy is a roll-on, not a spray, and wowsers did it hurt. But... it seems to be working.... Off to the aloe.

Thanks @hmanvolfan again for the memory jog! We old farts veterans of life have to hang together!
