Then you're a lousy cook, a klutz, and a menace... a good cook is far
less likely to suffer burns, cuts, or other cooking calamities... just
like a good driver is far less likely to suffer driving accidents.
People who are unsafe in one thing are unsafe in all things.

Tools fail, sometimes you lose your grip on something, accidents happen
even to experts in every field.

One-size-fits-all platitudes fit no one.

I hope your hopper is empty now. You've fed Shelley a lot more than
he's used to getting on the troll.

I didn't notice a Shelley and since there are apparently 4 id's for
every mortal here it would be tough to know.

But he said Shelley, not Brooklyn1? Or is that just somebody goading you?

Were you not such a NOOBIE you'd realize that sqwertz constantly makes
up names for people, and that if you weren't such a usenet greenhorn
you'd be able to find and peruse the RFC web site and there one can
find many poster's real names and in several places. Btw, swertz
originally posted under Steve Wertz, I named him sqwertz and not only
did it stick (in various permutations) he adopted it.

"I've gotten burned so many times" is not occasional. duh

I've been cooking for more than 60 years and I cook practically every
day, often all day... I've never gotten burned... professional cooks
rarely if ever get burned. Those who tend to burn themselves early on
and often almost always find a different occupation, one without heat,
or sharps. People who burn themselves as you do, "so many times" are
typically careless in all things including personal hygiene,
especially personal hygiene.

Really? Exactly many times is "so many"?

Take the rest of the day off, Sarge--you deserve it after 60 years in
the kitchen.

> I've never gotten burned... professional cooks rarely if ever get burned.

Ah, I see; I'm not a professional. But it makes me wonder how
professionals got that way. Weren't they amateurs first and capable of
fallibility before becoming perfection incarnate? Or did the spring
from the womb as accomplished short-order cooks?

I rarely burn or cut myself. For me, "that many" would be once every 3
or 4 years or something. Still I thought it might be nice to know if
people had any recommendations. I did burn myself pretty badly on
fireworks once and a remedy would have been handy.

People who making sweeping statements about other people, other people
in categories that they are eager to point out that they are not a
member of--I always have problems with credibility there.

I do not agree with the statement that professional cooks don't get
burnt- probably not as much as other people do, but it happens...

It doesn't bother me. I don't have time to be grabbing a hot pad for
every little thing. You talk all macho and stuff but underneath you must
be a big sissy. :-)
