I Just Burned my Finger in the Oven!! >.<

[Protosschick99]

So here I am trying to bake cookies for Stephen when he gets home, when I smell something burning. I had JUST stuck the cookies in the oven not even two minutes ago, so I went to go investigate and for some reason the cookies were already burning [I only had the oven on like 325 degrees!]

So without thinking, I try and pull the tray out of the oven and I was gonna reset the temperature.

Well guess what? I grabbed the tray WITHOUT GLOVES ON!!! Gosh how much stupider can you get? I just had the most retarded blonde moment ever, lolz. :P I just tried to get them out without them burning.

So for the past few minutes now, I've been running my finger under cold water. I have this nasty blister/callus now and it's all red and it stings like a you know what >.<

It's taking me forever trying to type this without my index finger, lolz...I keep making spelling errors and crap, lolz. It hurts >.<

[U-238]

I would say it's anything but an "lolz" moment. Sounds like a bad 1st degree or minor second degree burn. Running it under cold water was good. If you have some, put some aloe vera on it (but make sure you wait while before doing so). That's usually good for most mild burns. (it should be pretty mild providing you didn't actually hang your hand on the thing.)

And I've done the same thing too before. (Except it was pizza not cookies. :P)

[Thedutchjelle]

Lol.

PC99 can make a topic out of everything.

(is 160 Celsius really that hot? I picked up pizza parts in an 220 degrees oven before, although it hurts like fuck my skin didn't turn red or anything. Ofcourse, you picked an metal tray, that conducts better I guess.)

[U-238]

Food, isn't commonly as hot as metal. Reason being that metal heats up fast and radiates heat much more than food does.

[TheOutcast]

Ouch, I feel bad for you. I've been there.

[Cloneliness]

I've had similar experience when biting into a hot pizza. It sucked reall bad.

[SHISHKABOB]

You want some ice for that burn?

[Gunmonk]

Wow ummm pc, I dont know what to say, I'd say lolz, but one time I got my finger in some hot glue and it stuck like napalm. so you have my sypathies.


maybe

[GenocideAlive]

Um, PC. Use ice, not cold water. And by the way, get a job.

[Dark_Soul74]

Ice will just damage the tissue further. Definitely a second degree burn, though, so find some ointment for it and treat it like you've got a cut there.

A job would also work.

[TheListener]

I once burned my lips on a tachyon warp driver.
I suggest using liquid nitrogen.

[tremaparagon]

I remember doing something like that, except it was with a lamp. However the bulb was 100 watt and it had been on for about an hour.

[kongurous]

Um, PC. Use ice, not cold water. And by the way, get a job.

Wow I am never asking you to help me when I have a burn.

PC, use some sort of antibacterial ointment (aloe vera works fine) and a bandage and remember to keep it clean and dry. If the pain is really bothering you, take a pain killer. Not much else you can do. First degree burns don't tend to blister. Also, use gloves next time, moron :P

[Gunmonk]

Um, PC. Use ice, not cold water. And by the way, get a job.

and by the way fuck off.

PC, what kind of cookies were they? If I were your boyfriend I'd make you cookies:P jk. I like chocolate the best.

But anyway, get some burn oitment, I suggest actually just using aloe, and anit abcterial hand sanitizer... allot. you also want to make sure its well protected

[Thedutchjelle]

Yes, when the pizza comes fresh out of the oven, and you take a bite, and the molten cheese is a trillion degrees. And cus the cheese is sticky as hell it takes long to remove :(

[Modred]

I accidentally touched a baking sheet to the inside of my elbow once when pulling a pizza out of the oven. My sympathies for you, PC.

But in the future, do remember to 1) turn the oven off, and 2) grab some oven mitts before attempting to salvage your cookies. Chances are, you'll do better to worry less about the cookies and more about the potential for fire (hence turning the oven off before anything else). You can always remake cookies with less effort than replacing a kitchen (or house).

[Leosam096]

I feel so sorry for you! Be healed~!
I just ate hot noodles a while ago(because noodles is my anti--drug) and I only realized a few hours ago that my tongue was burning. It was okay, I didn't care much about it anyway.

[Protosschick99]

Um, PC. Use ice, not cold water. And by the way, get a job.

I do have a job.

I kinda forgot to tell ya'llz though, lolz :P

I am a seasonal Cashier at Target :] In fact, I have to go in at eleven which is in 50 minutes. I am doing SOMETHING at least until I get my Flight Attendant job :D

Man working out here is so different than in California. Ppl don't really care about their employees here, it kinda sucks. >.<

Well my finger doesn't burn anymore, it would burn and sting off and on--My bf felt so bad. He was like, "Awww...You were making me cookies! My baby I'm sorry..." :P

I did the aloe vera thing too--It just feels wierd underneath the blister now.

Stephen's oven is retarded--I don't know what's wrong with it, but I think there is something wrong with the temperature. It needs to be reset or something. I once baked a dutch apple pie for Thanksgiving to take to his family's house and the directions said to stick it in for an hour. By the time 25 minutes hit, it was BURNING! >.< That got me mad. Dumb oven :P

[Thedutchjelle]

And how did it taste?

I sort of took GA's comment as being facetious/sarcastic. When you say "i forgot to tell ya'llz", I don't suppose you hope people are really invested in your life and the bullshit you think may be construed as relevant?

Welcome to the Free Market, friend.

[Protoss_Honor]

Been there, done that, again, and again, and again. It does not always involve an oven, but I burn myself a lot. Evidently fire and extreme heats like me, but my skin and nerves do not like them. feh. :(
I am sorry for ya PC, get healed soon.
Good luck with your job. I luve ya. :)

[TheOutcast]

I almost burned my sisters face off once with the oven.....
She was cooking dinner for me, her, and her boyfriend because my parents were on "holiday", so I noticed that the chicken or whatever it was was on fire..... So me being the retarded motherfucker, I decide to open the oven and put it out, but doing so would give way for oxygen to do it's worst. She stopped me, felt like slapping me, but I ended up slapping myself because I should know better. The reason the meat was on fire is because a frying pan was covering one of the exhaust pipes under the burners. The end.

Anyways, get well soon "PC" :)

Stop being a jack---You know the rest.

Forgive me, I'm in a bad mood.

OOOOOOhhhh PC being a tough gal. Me likes, me likes. +rep

[Jimmy_the_saint]

Yeah thats happened to me before.
Down here in Australia we like to cook things in fires. (I think theres something in the water that makes us all pyros)
Anyway i was at camp making toffee apples in the coals of said fire and it was in there for 5 minutes(wrapped in foil) and i fished it out with a stick and made the stupid mistake of picking it up. Like you would a baseball. AND then the toffee spilled out. 1st and second degree burns all over my hand. So yeah PC I know what i feels like.

[GenocideAlive]

Wow I am never asking you to help me when I have a burn.
I'd hope that anybody here that gets a serious burn would seek someone of a medical profession, not a forum poster. But hey, I guess the obvious is a little less obvious than you'd think, sometimes.

From Wikipedia:
Cold water should never be applied to any person with extensive burns, as it may severely compromise the burn victim's temperature status.
I was kinda taught the same thing at school as well so.

I found a link of a Dutch organisation and they say that if you got a burn you should use normal temperature water.
http://www.brandwonden.nl/node.php?nid=58
I'm googling for more sites now, there are dozens of sites that advise not to use ice.

[GenocideAlive]

From Wikipedia:
Just FYI, the keyword there is "extensive". You aren't going to compromise your body temperature by putting ice on your finger. You'd have people in serious danger when they tried to clean up a spilled drink; this seems fairly obvious to anybody with common sense.

I confess, my initial answer was a little halfassed. I wasn't aware that there would be so many medical experts that know not to use ice because of the dangerous, irreversible consequences. Consquences such as "nothing" and "you'll be fine". I was also unaware that I was entering an epeen contest for coaching someone on how to treat boo-boos. I guess in some instances, people could be pulling out huge blocks of ice and numbing off entire limbs, destroying circulation and tissue in +50% of their body if they followed my advice for their 3rd degree burns. But from what I could gather, PC just had a burn on <10% of her finger...

Ice it for about a minute, put some cool tap water on it, slap some antibacterial creme and a wrap on it. If that isn't sufficient, you need to see a doctor anyway. Or, you could consult a huge burn dictionary from extensive research on mass burns on 90% BAS and make sure that you don't utterly destroy your life by doing something so crazy and careless like putting a cube of ice on it. I cede to the experts.

[Black.Ice]

No shit, just ice it. Quit acting like ice is gonna kill you. The skin from the blister is already pretty much dead. A little bit of ice isn't going to kill you.

(And I just asked my brother, who happens to be in the same room with me and is awkwardly reading this as I type. He is a doctor, and he thinks we're idiots. He also says ice FTW.

Just a FYI.)


And get, uh... well soon PC. :)

I'd rep you if I didn't have to spread it first. T.T

And I didn't know I'd get this much of a response of how to care for it either :P

Just so you know ppl, I am certified in First Aid and CPR. That was one of the requirements to become a Flight Attendant for United. During emergency training week, they made sure we got certified.

I know how to care for burns. :P

I'm so tempted to pop this ugly blister though--I know I shouldn't, because it'll hurt like a you-know-what and it isn't good.

Thanks for all the well-wishing :]

It was a pain trying to wash dishes, my bf had to take over for me because the hot water was making it sting.

[UMSLdragon]

Lol.

PC99 can make a topic out of everything.

That's PC lolz :P

As for the popping of the blister. All I do is poke a hole to relieve the pressure. Don't know if it's good or bad for me, nor do I care :P I makes my bliters feel better and from my observations, heals faster and cool faster... That's all IMO though. But pin holing it would be my advise. It's fun to watch clear liquid squirt out of pin hole blisters :L

[masterofhobbiton]

Um, ewww, that sounds kind of cool and kind of disgusting. :P

I do that all of the time! Most of the time it is blood blisters for me though... So much more satisfying that that clear liquiid shit.

Good luck PC... I have plenty of scar from my job at the pizza shop of on both of my arms. Tough it out! I like IBUprfen and aloe vera.
