How is your heat tolerance?

So I was at work today and I was pulling plates out of a hot oven and it kind of hurt but I didn’t care enough to react which got me thinking, how is it possible that I can do that? There are people that get severe burns from spilled coffee so how is it that I can grab oven temp food or dip my hands into super hot water like it’s nothing? I’ve been told if you’re in the profession long enough you’ll stop feeling it but aren’t these temperatures still high enough to cause damage to your skin even if you can’t feel it? I’m not exactly sure when this developed but now I know that if something hurts to touch it’s seriously f-ing hot.

Kind of curious if others have had this same thought or any related stories, so let me know if you also have asbestos hands lol
