Pot calling the kettle...ouch

This weekend Tara made some unbelievable hot sandwiches in the oven and used our cast iron skillet to hold down the bread, thereby "grilling" the sandwiches to near-perfection.

While the sandwiches were on the counter cooling a bit before I cut them up, I accidentally skimmed my arm across the (clearly visible) skillet handle about 10 minutes after it had come out of the over.

As you can see, it is a great skillet that retains its heat very well, and has an excellently shaped handle. The funny thing is that because I don't have feeling in the part of my arm near the center of the handle (long story - another post) I didn't feel the burn until it got to the outer pink area you see in the shot.

Kids, stay away from the stove. Momma's cookin'.

OU-ch. I feel your pain. I got myself with a cast iron skillet once too (I turned into the handle with my side) and still have the scar to show for it.

The gel-type bandages do wonders... I couldn't sleep with out them.
