H&S question

[Seadog]

I have oven gloves, but they're too cumbersome, so I use a tea towel.

 

[colnerov]

No.
The only safe way is to use a wet tea-towel as the steam will sterilize the burn.

I did this to myself on Tuesday and, as you can see, thanks to prompt and proper care, it's hardly visible now and only slightly infected....

Hi, If you are able to burn your arm that far up, you will need oven gauntlets.

I use silicone oven gauntlets, they're the canine's genitalia - but only when removing hot stuff, not putting cold in.

Depends...is this one of those questions..where you answer and then more details are provided!

For example...the oven is pre-heated to 1000 degrees C....and the cold item is a pyrex filled with liquid nitrogen.

You know...the sort of discussion you get from a physiology student!

 

[Parm]

I’ll have to ask my wife

Are you a middle aged Indian Man ?

 

[Parm]

I don't have oven gloves, don't like them

I have the oven glove type material square pads, much more practical I find

How

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Yea I did....I remember all those pointless discussions. You are driving a tram and the brakes have failed but you can still steer.

Do you steer left or right....definitely right. As you answer each step more information gets added.

I'm with you on the oven cloths...gloves are hard to use I find...especially for the roast potato pan full of oil and goose fat!

How

Your ref to asking wife, if your anything like my old man (he’s 74) he thinks the kitchen is “just” another room in the house, and by magic food comes out of it

It's not magic. Must be relatives of the washing fairys. They clean my clothes and store them in a washing basket for weeks at a time.

Or possible the evil goblins that remove stuff I've carefully stored on kitchen work surfaces and hide them in the most unexpected places
Took me a year to find my lh drill bits

Those goblins must be very busy, I’ve experienced them quite a few times

There’s a Stanley Precision screwdriver set that remains unaccounted for

 

[Wallace]

Water pump pliers or two pairs if the tray is really heavy.

To be fair Harry learned very quickly if he wanted food he just had to find your mum

 

[Morrisman]

Wet tea towels are lethal, conduct heat far quicker than a dry one

But you don’t realise that until you are halfway between oven and counter top.....

How, as in Red Indian

No, I do my bit in the kitchen. Just not very good at it and limited to what I can cook. Not adventurous, unless I’m eating it

 

[JEZGUZ]

Oven gloves should be banned, they are clumsy, awkward and in some cases downright dangerous. If you manage to spill very hot liquids on them and enough to soak through the glove they are very difficult to remove, and all the time the liquid is scalding your hand. If they are damp, heat will be transferred quicker and you have the same problems as before. Find a catering supplier and look for Oven Cloths, think of triple density tea towel, easier to use and if something does go wrong they are easier to get free from, failing that just use a tea towel.

What men talk about in the kitchen:

"Tea towels? You're a fool!"

 

[anjum]

There was no sometimes option
Different situations different answer
E.g. if there's other things in the oven restricting access. Or just feel lazy or wanted to impress some young lass....long time ago

I made a life style decision, to stop using oven gloves, recruited a wife, bought her an arga.

Now the only time I need an oven glove is if Im heating up bearings in her roasting oven!
