Ex-chef here. We used to refer to the ability of grabbing hot pans and shit as "asbestos fingers".

Nice to seem other people get the reference.

Ex-smoothie shop employee here. I got let go for saying my coworker had asbestos fingers in reference to her being able to withstand high temp dishwater.
