Why is it that you can safely hold your bare hand in a hot pizza oven for a few seconds but if you momentarily touch the metal inside you'll burn yourself?

The metal in the oven conducts heat much more efficiently than the air or the pizza, so it quickly transfers heat to your hand, causing burns in a matter of seconds. However, the air inside the oven does not transfer heat as quickly, allowing you to briefly hold your hand in the hot environment without burning yourself.


When you touch a hot pot or pan energy moves from the pot to your hand. This is called what?

A "burn". Burns are ranked in seriousness by "degree". For basic guidelines: A 1st degree burn is a minor burn; an uncomfortable pink spot on the skin. A 2nd degree burn is more serious, and often form blisters. A 3rd degree burn is a major burn; the skin is often charred. Note that size and location are also used to classify the severity of burns.
