[MD] Three Hot Stoves

[khaledsa at juno.com]

 Hello John

A little comment here about the perception issue. when I am cooking and
dealing with a hot cast iron pan, or an aluminum backing pan, I tend to
respect it and I am aware of the fact that it is hot. When it comes to a
glass dish, I put the oven mitts on when taking out of the oven, but once
it's on the counter I tend to reach for it, bare handed, forgetting that
it is hot. Over the years, the mind gets conditioned that steel is hard
and tough and can handle the extremes and most cooking pots are metal,
while glass is fragile and can break easily. That association makes me
forget that it can hold a lot of heat and that it will blister you if you
touch it. And once in a while I go reaching for that glass pan but never
the metal one.

I would say the 'pure' experience of the hot stove is the second one,
because your mind has not been prejudiced either way about the stove.
