What NOT to do…

When cooking tostadas, do not do the following, as it may cause injury or perhaps even death:
1. Flip the tostada in the hot oil with fork
2. Set the fork down
3. Pick up the fork and taste-test the refried beans.

Why, you ask? Well, you see, the oil on the fork is still very, very hot. That hot oil, despite the tempering of the beans, will still be very hot. And it will burn the insides of your lips.

Or so I’ve heard.

Blisters on the inside of lips hurt…again, so I’ve heard.
