Been there, done that. Remember those popcorn poppers with the Teflon-surface and the little circle in the bottom where you were supposed to put the oil and the popcorn seed in the bottom, with the plastic lid for flipping over and using as a bowl when the popcorn popped?
The first time I ever used one, I put too much oil in it and didn't flip it fast enough. Burnt my little piano-playing hands, I did and slept that night with my hands in cold water (we had no money to run to the hospital emergency room back then). 'Twas NOT fun at all.
Well maybe only one or two.
