Dylan Dreyer is an open book and often shares tales of her life on the Today Show's Third Hour.
And at the start of the week, the NBC meteorologist had quite the story for her co-stars, as she opened up about a cooking injury from her childhood.
The 41-year-old and her six-year-old son Calvin have a regular cooking segment on the program, Cooking with Cal, and on Monday's episode the duo showed viewers at home how to make caramel flan.
After watching the cute cooking video, Dylan told her co-stars Sheinelle Jones and Craig Melvin: "Do you want me to tell my story?" She continued: "I have a scar on my finger and it's from actually melting the butter to make caramel and it splashed on my finger and I've had a scar ever since!"
"I was making it with my mom and I was four," she added. Craig dryly responded: "She left you in the kitchen by yourself?" "I think about it every day when I look at my hand," Dylan replied.

Dylan opened up about Calvin's diagnosis on the Today Show earlier in the year, where she was joined by her little boy.

The family have since changed their diets and completely cut out gluten. Calvin revealed that now he was feeling "terrific" and a "thousand percent better," with Dylan describing it all as a "huge transition for everyone in the family."
Dylan now regularly shares gluten free recipes and pictures of herself creating gluten-free alternatives for her family.

As well as Calvin, Dylan and her cameraman husband Brian Fichera share younger sons Oliver, born in January 2020, and Rusty, born in September 2021.
The proud parents often share family updates on social media and like to keep things real. Most recently, Brian posted a sweet picture of their middle son Oliver looking annoyed while sitting under the table at home, having refused to eat his asparagus in exchange for a dessert.
