did the burn about 2 1/2 hours ago.
had hand in iced water for last 40 mins as run out of other cold stuff.
so far (5 mins out of water) it seems ok. Think i've finally taken the heat out - although my fingers are a little numb from the cold water and
typing is difficult.
weird bit is the complete lack of skin damage - no blisters. Slowly starting to see the area that i lent on turn a little redder (ie 1" wide
strip).
From what i've read there is nothing they can do apart from cold water etc. Long story but if the skin does break i've got some
prescription antiseptic / antibiotic cream (insert bit about men going to see a doctor etc). If its sore in the morning i'll go see someone.
Now as i've not gone out as usual on a sunday ........ trying to figure what i could do. Perhaps i should try the onions

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

You did say you've previously opened it, so there's the possibility the change of air and lack of seal could introduce stuff that could
cause it to go off. I've had an old jar of pickled onions grow mold on top as they'd been opened. Still, even then I guess I could have
dug out the layer of green hairy mold and the onoins underneath were probably fine! Didn't though...

Did something similar, but still had my welding gloves on when I picked the metal - still hurt, through the gloves... no damage, but I did drop the
piece PDQ!

I've done pretty much the same thing at it bloody hurt! I was racing and managed to get the paramedics to but a burns bandage on and in such a
way as I could still get my glove on for the last race. God did that hurt!
Then 3 hours driving home with the hand out the window (right hand luckily) to keep it in some cool airflow.
It hurt for a few days but got in the way for 2 week or so whilst it healed!
I promise you that you will be extra careful in future!

you big wuss!!! 
remember David Carradine in the series Kung Fu? He lifted and carried a cauldon of boiling coals and didn't moan as much as you. 
I'll bet he eats pickled onions, straight from the jar using his fingers, no girly fork for him

if there is no blistering the burn has gone deep.
If the skin break cover in cling film strange I know but makes an airtight seal the keep the microbes out and stop it going septic. It is prepared
and rolled in a clean sterile environment and the inside will still be sterile as it makes a seal on itself. It wont actually stick to the burnt
area. Its what hospitals use and what is recomended to first aiders.
My mum had some pickled eggs she had done that were 5 years old. been done in brown vinegar rather than white and they were edible if a little strong
on the vinegar taste
