Who invented saucepans with metal handles?
That’s why professional chefs like Emeril Lagasse always have a teatowel over one shoulder when cooking. They learn early on in cooking school never to grab a pot nor pan with bare hands. I can tell ya from painful experience that those resin handles can get hot enough to give ya painful burns, too. I always have potholders handy – even when I go participate in living history reenactments where we cook over open fires in cast iron! Yes, it’s real cooking, and yes, that’s how we cook for an entire weekend – sometimes for five days straight.
