Frank, do not break those blisters. The fluid inside is body fluid and helps heal the burn faster. And to break them also will expose you to infection.

That only works for girls... men pop blisters.
I think this is where I am supposed to pound my chest and grunt.
I've been screwing up a lot lately, forgetting to turn burners off. Scary. I try to remember to double check before I leave the room, but occasionally am in too much of a hurry.
I think they should build stoves with a safety feature that turns elements off after a certain amount of time. With digital technology, it shouldn't be too complicated and I think the feature would be a big seller....Have you considered taking up cooking outside? It just might be safer for your kitchen.

They have them in Denmark. When the fire department had to put out a kitchen fire because my mum had left the house with the burner on, social services stepped in. They turned off the gas to her stove and gave her an electric cook top with timer. That was a real nuisance to try to cook on and I only had to deal with it for a month. It was a lot safer, but I wished there was some kind of override. You could barely boil a kettle of water before it switch off.

It prevents you from waking up baked. Or would that be roasted?I'm totally annoyed at my new electric blanket. It has an automatic cut-off at 10 hours. That's fine if you turn it on, crawl in bed and go to sleep. Unfortunately I often read in bed for a few hours before going to sleep, and if I forget to turn it off then back on just before I turn out the lights (to reset the timer) then I get woke up in the early hours because I'm freezing. I wish the darn thing didn't have any timer.
?
Surely they could build in a feature that you could set if like that if you wanted. Afterall, ovens have timers, why not elements?
I wish I could cook outside, Addie, but there's no outdoor cooking area, and no balcony either.
I find it happens when I slide my eggs onto my plate and go ahead and cut them up to mix with my sausage or ham. It's not something I've just left on and went to do something else, I was there the whole time. I'm just in a hurry to eat while it's hot.
I'm more careful when cooking things I can leave for awhile. I use a timer then, just to remind myself to check and stir.
I'll work on making a new habit to not leave the room without checking the stove.
Ouch, Frank! Get better soon.
I've done it, too. The worst was when I stupidly grabbed the handle of a CI skillet that had been in the oven. Won't do that again.
Now I have a silicone sleeve that fits on my skillet handles.
