Not A Smart Move on my Part

I was cooking dinner and put a bag of microwavable vegetables into the microwave. Normally I don't use these but they were on sale and are quick and easy. When the microwave beeped I was distracted and pulled the bag out and zipped it open forgetting about the steam.
Holy Mackerel that steam burned my finger and it's red and sore.
When they say that accidents happen at home it's so true. If I wasn't distracted this never would have happened. Lucky me that it wasn't more serious.

That sucks. Steam burns are terrible, I get them every time I open up a bag of popcorn haha!

I'm very familiar with the steam burns from a bag of popcorn. And yet I never seem to learn
@Marilynda1225 I hope all is well.

Oh no. Put mustard on the burn it'll ease the pain.

Mustard? Never heard of that as a remedy for a burn but good to know

Ouch! I'm sure we've all done something like that at one time or another, due to distractions. I hope your finger feels better soon.

That had to hurt! Hope you are okay now. Would have been better if the bag would have exploded in the microwave instead. At least it would have been better for your finger.

I am sorry it is so sore. When distracted we do not pay attention to what we are doing.

Yikes, you have to watch that steam! The worst at home burn I had was from pop tarts I was taking out of the toaster..I am wary of those steaming vegetables, and popcorn.

Oh I'm sorry. Yeah, we get distracted once in awhile. Good thing though it was a minor one.

Glad you are okay but that was a painful lesson to learn. I have burnt myself a few times because I underestimated the micrwave
