Wear oven mitts.
Wear oven mitts EVERY time I am in the vicinity of an open stove.
Most people are coordinated enough to use pot holders. But, not me. I believe I'm nursing my TENTH rack-shaped burn on the back of one of my hands. I probably should have rethought this cavalier pot holder habit back around two or three. I reach into the oven to release my bubbly lasagna or toasty calzone and - inevitably - I either misjudge or get a little jumpy and sizzle my hand on the rack above the one I'm cooking on. Clearly, protective gear is in order.
