Update 16 – Avoid Burning Your Fingers

To avoid burning your finger always wear oven mitts when handling any hot dishes in the kitchen.  Remember that not only do dishes get hot in the oven but oven racks get hot too.  Be certain that your oven mitts are not made of a slippery material like many of the new silicon covered mitts.  Thick padded cotton mitts are less likely to slip.  And always remember to pay attention to what you are doing when carrying hot food in the kitchen.
