Not recent. I was cooking a frozen pizza and when I took it out of the oven, the pot holder I was using slipped and I ended up with my bare fingers on the pan. It was only a minor burn since I dropped the pizza and pan on the floor almost immediately. It had been a really stressful week and I was at my breaking point. I left the pizza and pan on the floor and just went to my bedroom. Fuck that day.
Edit: Invest in decent pot holders and oven mitts. You are worth it.
I recently discovered the joys of silicone hot pads. The stove literally cannot get hot enough to melt silicone (2577°F), no reason they shouldn't last forever. They're also nice and grippy! $2 at the hardware store.
Plus! To clean grease or spills off them (silicone hot MITTS, that is) you just put them on and wash your hands with dish soap! And you can immediately use them, even if still damp, without steam scorching your hands!
But note: they will not protect you from bougainvillea thorns, you need gardening gloves for that.
