One of the safest ways to remove a lid from a hot pot to avoid a steam burn is to use a glass lid, if possible. Glass lids allow you to easily see the contents of the pot without having to remove the lid completely, reducing the risk of steam burns. Additionally, glass lids tend to stay cooler to the touch compared to metal lids, further decreasing the likelihood of burns. When removing a glass lid from a hot pot, it is still important to use caution and handle it carefully to prevent any accidents.
