This type of learned bad habits is familiar to anyone who has ever
used a microwave oven.  How many of you have become so used to reaching
in for cool dishes that you've tried the same thing in the oven, only
to remember too late that ovens make the dish hot too?  I wonder if
a microwave oven manufacturer has ever been sued because someone burnt
his/her hand badly.
