Great Moments in Cooking, #47

I actually did this a few months ago. I think of it every time I cook now.

• I turned on the oven.

• I put a cast iron skillet in the oven to heat up.

• When the skillet was hot, I carefully put a hot mitt on my left hand.

• I opened the oven and firmly grasped the handle of the skillet with my right hand.

Thankfully, there was no permanent damage. But misery loves company, so: what’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done in the kitchen?
