One time I took a pot roast out of the oven and set it on the stove. I turned around to grab something and looked back and thought, no, that needs to be scooted up a bit, and proceeded to grab the handle of the pan that had been out of the oven for all of 4 seconds with my bare hand.
So I just always turn the oven mitt around after I set it on the stove and put it over the handle as a reminder that it’s hot
I have burned myself in so many random ways around the kitchen, but this is a nice visual reminder to everyone who might not know that this pan is probably pretty hot still

That hurt.
I’ve done that with a cast iron. I had to go to the hospital. Same exact thing.
Use mitt. Put on stove. Take off mitt.
3 seconds later,Need to adjust, forget mitt.
Grab handle fully. Palm, thumb, fingers. Aghhhhhh
Cry a little bit. Soak in water pitcher.
Drive to hospital with hand in pitcher.
I probably should have gone to urgent care.
I did not. I put some creme on it, screamed, and held on to cold sodas all night
Well I got some painkillers, and luckily don’t have addiction issues so they really helped
