What is worse than burning your hand when touching those handles??!!! Having your HOST do it!!! I made the pineapple upside-down cake and my host was so excited she grabbed the pan to show the late guests what I had made the cake in. She threw the pan in the sink instead of letting go of it on the floor. So since she held it longer she started to blister almost immediately. That was NOT good.
