For real. Everytime I get in the shower I end up having to point the showerhead away and cower from the cold water and I could have just turned it on first?

    I mean…I do sometimes. Usually pizzas or things on aluminum foil. I also used to pull out noodles from boiling water to test them while cooking

    Obviously I’m not grabbing 350F glass or metal with my bare hands, but if you’re very deliberate with your movements you’d be surprised what you can do without burning yourself

      Not really the same animal. Foil dissipates heat extremely quickly, and I’ve pulled plenty a pizza or other item out of an oven or off a baking sheet that just came out hot when it’s on foil.

      I think it’s pretty obvious that the intent of what we’re discussing isn’t someone sliding out a few hot cookies on parchment paper. We wouldn’t be having this conversation were that the case.

        I mean, yeah, but you’re not suspending your sense of disbelief enough

        There’s definitely people who literally have reached in, with their bare hands, and tried to pick up a casserole. There’s even people who regularly give themselves severe burns because they just straight up forget things are hot

        There’s also people who don’t know what oven mitts are, what they’re for, or don’t have them. They might use a dish towel or all sorts of other wacky work arounds. I mean, you can even get by fine without ever using an oven

        There’s a lot of humor to be had here if you’re less rigid in your thinking. If you try to imagine how someone could fit that description, assuming that there’s some degree of exaggeration for comedic effect
