"Cookware will be very hot while in use."

LOL It's called avoiding liability lawsuits. Some people are just that
stupid (and their lawyers are just that greedy). Another example is the
warning not to iron clothes while you're wearing them.

And the woman who tried to sue a drug company because she got pregnant
while using a "contraceptive jelly". She also commented that it really
was terrible on toast.

Unfortunately, some people are extremely stupid. Companies have to
protect themselves from liability. Sometimes that means putting
warnings on things that you and I and most other people would not
need. But there will always be an ambulance chaser around who will
be happy to take a company to court and argue that the company was
negligent. I had to even mention the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit,
but it is the prime example. Forget all that crap about the
alleged temperature readings at restaurants, all of which were much
cooler than my home drip coffee puts out. For me it comes down to
the idiocy of holding a cup of hot coffee between your legs.

Except it isn't, which is why McDonald's were found liable.

So *that's* why I blister my fingers every time I move a pot by the sides
instead of the handles. I only wish this information had been provided by
the makers of my cookware. Too little, too late. I no longer have
fingerprints.

Then you could probably rob a bank or commit murder and get away with it!
Lucky you!

I have no discernable fingerprintes, either. Unfortunately, they
have that wacky camera thing, now. Oh well.

Yup, that's all it was. Appeared to me that you were taking being caught out
in UL pretty personally, and that my tasteless (or at least that's what they
say!) jelly jape got short shrift in response.

I didn't think you were being an asshole. I just wanted you to lighten up.
