Chef Injuries No.4 the annoying burn !

This burn was not on the scale of the deep fried foot of a previous post but this was and still is a truly annoying burn. I got my hand stuck in-between the fryers and the new flat top oven at work. My hand sizzled to well done proportions for about 2 seconds. As it happened during service I didn't have time to cry. However after service I noticed a slight warming sensation on the top of my hand and let out a loud "ARHH" when I noticed I had hurt myself. Call me an attention seeking drama Queen if you want but none of the other Chefs batted an eye lid in sympathy and the new young lad on the pot wash that night thought it was hilarious well until I brought my pans round for him to clean !
Because of where the burn is every time I put my hand in my pocket to get my car keys or the rare occasion I use my wallet It rubs against the lip of my pocket and it blooming hurts and then it starts to bleed !
The worst thing about the number of burns you acquire in the kitchen is that in the summer time when you start wearing tee-shirts all your scares are on display and people look at you as if you are a self harmer !
Maybe I should start using some spray on tan !
