Today, I learned that just because the actual part of the pan that does touch the stove isn't hot doesn't mean that the handle won't give you third degree burns, a broken nose from passing out from the pain, and an expensive trip to the emergency room. FML

Looks like that pan was too hot to handle!

Sounds like your cooking didn't exactly pan out.

Op just worded this wrong. You can't get 3rd degree burns from a pan that isn't hot. You can however, get 3rd degree burns from a pan that you simply THINK isn't hot.

I work in a kitchen, use a dry towel to pick up the handle... completely dry towel! or you will have a pan handle burned into your hand.

So somehow the handle got upwards of 600 degrees without the pan getting hot at all?!!? YDI it OP for not knowing how to use a pan.

Something could have been cooking next to it.

Well, okay, OP could have avoided this. But I hardly think that he deserves so much pain just because they were careless. However, a third-degree burn burns away the nerves beneath the skin (I can vaguely remember learning this a couple of years ago at guides), so they're not meant to hurt. Is it the area AROUND the skin that hurts with a third degree burn? Anyway, I hope that you get well soon, OP!

so you didn't even try to feel the handle first?

Cooking common sense. Sorry OP but YDI, get better pans with handles that don't heat up if you're still dumb enough to blindly grab something sitting over an open heat source.

Our pans have metal handles that get quite hot. One shouldn't have to take lids off with two fingers and crash them on top of the stove. Yeah, I'm too lazy to use a mitt. But the point is, we shouldn't have to, you know?
