Last night I made some caramel to go with a cake my partner baked. Melted sugar and butter, the food version of napalm.
And I splashed the tiniest droplet of it onto my thumb knuckle - worst pain I've felt in a long time. I immediately ran it under cold water for 20 minutes and kept it on ice for the rest of the night, and it's looking pretty wack tbh
my thumb now - not Gorey, just a blister
Owwww. Sugar cookery is plenty dangerous imo.
Definitely! It was funny, I was showing my partner how to make it, and to be careful because it's so incredibly hot, nek minit I do this haha there must always be a blood sacrifice when I cook apparently lol
Oh yeah. Molten sugar is on par with fucking lava
Ouch! And caramel isnβt even hard crack
