There's definitely people who literally have reached in, with their bare hands, and tried to pick up a casserole. There's even people who regularly give themselves severe burns because they just straight up forget things are hot

There's also people who don't know what oven mitts are, what they're for, or don't have them. They might use a dish towel or all sorts of other wacky work arounds. I mean, you can even get by fine without ever using an oven

There's a lot of humor to be had here if you're less rigid in your thinking. If you try to imagine how someone could fit that description, assuming that there's some degree of exaggeration for comedic effect
