    Or like any good cook, you know when, where and how long you can hold on to a hot panhandle.

    I worked in a kitchen for a while as a teen with my mom who taught me everything about cooking. One of those skills is a cook’s unnatural ability to withstand a lot of heat just before the point of getting burned.

      My grandmother would take out loaves of bread (in a metal or glass bread pan) out of the oven with her bare hands. I don’t know how she did it, but she never got burned, and also made the best grandma bread ever.

        Callouses and timing … it’s the same principal as those Polynesians who can walk over hot coals. They are able to withstand a bit of pain and they know how long to hold it.

        If your grandma wanted she could have been able to do a hand stand walk over hot coals … while baking bread.

        My mom would have been right next to her.

        It’s great to have people like this in our lives.

        I do things like that and it shocks people… Until they see that I was burned.

        Come to think of it I’m just dumb sometimes
