Nothing like grabbing the handle of a cast iron pan off the stove or a pan straight out of the oven. If you're in food service, eventually your fingers are so blistered, calloused, and scarred you don't feel it anyway do you?

Pretty much, but my skin does this fun thing where it scars super easily and they never fade. I'm all marked up <_<

I have one giant scar on my forearm from an oil burn– I was training on the fryer station at a fancy joint and we were deep-frying boiled farro, which has a shitload of water in it and made the oil splash everywhere. So this giant splash of 400-degree oil hits my arm, instant 2nd degree burn. The girl who was training me– she was on her very last day so I'm pretty sure she was high– looks at the still-forming blister and goes "Wow, it looks like a dandelion!"

She wasn't wrong, but I was kind of actively burning and needed her to move so I could rinse that shit off right that second. She totally didn't even process that there was pain involved.
