Answer 1

I worked at a regional Burn Center Hospital... Come on RNs -- NO ICE!
From: http://www.mgh.harvard.edu/burns/patients/
Cool the burn immediately with cool water to reduce the skin temperature and stop the burning process, numb the pain, and prevent or reduce swelling. Do not use ice on burns as it may decrease the blood supply to the area and may actually make the burn worse.

After cooling the burn with water, cover the burn with a clean dressing to the burn area. If you don’t have a dressing, cover the burn with a clean t-shirt (never a towel as the fiber can stick in the wound and be painful to remove). People are usually more comfortable if exposed nerve endings are covered.

Get Medical Help! Never underestimate the seriousness of a burn!

For serious burns don’t give anything to the victim to eat or drink prior to seeking medical attention.

Elevate burns to the extremities to reduce swelling.

Well dang that more than i spent on my whole cooking set but to help you out try pam cooking spray to help the eggs not stick if that doesnt work and you already said no to butter, if you are doing this at home i would say go buy a cheap but good quality nonstick pan and use it for eggs only and as far as oil build up thats a first for me i dont cook with many oils in my nonstick pans but i have used nonstick pans for 10 years and never had that happen if it occurs in the egg pan then wipe it out with a paper towel while still hot and then rinsing with water and washing my pans are kitchen aid so if you cant use oil like it moves the eggs too fast thru system and dont want darker eggs from butter get a small nonstick for these occasions professional pans like that arent great for everything do hope i could help and best wishes in the kitchen

Cold water. Soak you finger in cold water. Do not
put ice directly on the burn. Ice can damage the
skin just as bad as the heat did. If you develop
blisters around the burn site then you may want to have the burn looked at by a doctor. The cold water will draw out the heat and stop your skin from
continuing to burn. If there isn't any blisters then
put some Aloe Vera gel on it. You can find this
in the sun screen section of a store.

Best Thing For A Burn

Answer 5

Try a burn spray, but soak it in icy cold water. Try a large bowl. It will hurt - sorry, but it is a burn. You just fried the tips of some nerve endings. A burn spray could help. If it is deep, you may want to see an RN. Do not use any oil at this point - not even vitamin E. It needs to heal for a bit first.

Answer 6

Ice is the best thing to put on a burn. If you are able to take aspirin, take one as that will reduce the swelling. Aloe is good for burns too. Go to WebMD.com and look for burns.

Answer 7

Stick in ice water and leave there until it feels better.Replace ice as needed .I have used this method for years after it was recommended to me by a friend of mine who is a surgeon. Cooking in a professional kitchen I do get my share of burns. In all the years of using this method I have never developed blisters or scars and the burns healed quickly and painlessly

Answer 8

aloe vera plant is instant relief for this.
But if u have none, peel a potatoe and put on the burn.
ice compresses work or just slice raw potatoes and keep cool in fridge.

Answer 9

ICE! If burn is really bad, you can ask your doctor for Silvidine.

ice ice ice, it will sting at first, the burn hurts after all, but give it about twenty minutes, it will not only numb the burn, it will lessen the damage the burn inflicted, and decrease redness and swelling.
