Don't Grab A Pot On Fire - You Will Get Burned

In case some of you did not know...if you grab a pot that is on fire your hand will get burned. Yes it's true. I know this may come as a surprise but skin does not respond well to fire.

I learned this lesson this weekend. So tragic...So stupid

I put some water to boil on the gas stove that we have. I placed my vegetables in the pot and placed the lid on the pot and set my timer. I forgot to leave room so the steam could vent out the top of the pot. So while I was away the water boiled up and over down onto the gas flames.

NOT GOOD!

The top of the stove was in flames...YIKES...

I ran into the kitchen and grabbed the pot which was on fire...now not only was it on fire but it had a metal handle...yeah real smart...

So I dropped the scalding hot pot on the stove with my vegetables and turned off the gas which is what I should have done to begin with.

I put out the fire and all disaster was averted except for the burns on my right hand.

Lesson learned...
