When I open the oven door, I know there will be hot air hitting my face so I'll wait for like 2 seconds..
After 3 seconds I think, Okay, no hot air, anymore so I move in to get the dish and than the hot air hits my face... Everytime!
I'm like this when I microwave fresh veg. I cover the bowl in plastic wrap, and when the veg are cooked I KNOW the big balloon effect is steam hotter than boiling water, and I KNOW it will burn me if I try to take the plastic off without a utensil, but I don't want that steam bubble to collapse on the veg, so I try to get just a corner off, and maybe if I ... SSSSSSSTEAM BURN! Why oh why didn't I use a fork or something? Next time, I swear, I will be ready (not).
I remember about the hot air about .1 seconds before it hits me in the face. Ive got just enough time to go "Oh"
My dishwasher's rising steam blast is delayed longer than the hot air blast from my oven and I forget every time, leaning in too early.
