I inhaled hot oven air by accident

[Anonymous]

I was taking a tray out of the oven (at 375) and I breathed in while doing it and got a mouth full of hot oven air. Is this bad? Normally I hold my breath but I was talking to someone and forgot. Worried I could have lung/throat burns.

Hot oven air?

Umm, I think you will be fine.

Don’t think I’ve ever heard of this. I’m an avid baker/cook and I’m sure I’ve inhaled oven air many hundreds of times.

In this case.....

You are fine.

Really, OP? I think you'd know if the inside of your mouth was severely burned.

Is your throat burning? Do your lungs feel like fire? Are your insides roasting your own kidneys?

No? Then you're fine.

This not hot enough to scald your lungs, like a burst boiler. You should be okay.

Thanks for the laugh!

I think you might know if your throat wasn't burned and never in my 25 years of baking have I ever even given a moment's thought to my mouth being opened or closed when I am opening the oven door.

Run to ER or urgent care. YOu don't want permanent damage to your lung
