I was baking a lemon tart in a tart pan with a removable bottom. When I took it out of the oven I put my hand on the bottom of the pan so the rim -- the very hot rim -- fell on my arm. Needless to say, I then dropped the entire tart which was literally a hot mess all over my oven and floor. For Christmas, my husband bought me a set of oven mitts from the restaurant supply store that goes up to my elbows. Like I will ever make that mistake again! =)
