The other day I foolishly picked up a lid that had been in the oven. Although the pain was not too bad, I immediately grabbed a piece of tin foil to cover my fingertips. Instant cooling and no pain! I kept it on for about 10 minutes, and when I removed it, I continued to feel no pain. I heard from my friend about this tip when she asked me to see if my scientist husband knew why this worked. He didn't know, but I don't really care since it just does.
