1. Soak the burn in cool water for 15 minutes.
2. Apply cool cloth to the burn for a few minutes each day.
3 Apply topical antibiotic to the burn to prevent infection if necessary.
4. If necessary, take over-the-counter pain medication to control pain.

Definitely no ice, run cool water over the burned area to stop the skin from burning for 5 minutes or until cool.
Butter is an old wives tale and does not help, in fact it can make it worse. The reason they used to use butter is because butter was kept cool and would help cool the burn.
If it is charred, dry and you are noticing any loss of sensation you may need emergency care.
If it is just red aloe can help sooth and speed healing, wrap in sterile gauze bandage (not cotton) and take some over the counter pain meds. Blisters may appear, DO NOT BREAK THE BLISTERS.

Turn off the burner put the pan in the sink.. run the cold water in the pan and over the burnt part of your hand. It should blister if its a second degree burn.

Put Baking Soda on it. Then: if the burn is bad: get some sea-buckthorn oil and dresss the wound with it. If can't get it: aloe vera.

Slather it with 100% aloe vera gel. You can get it at any drugstore. I swear that stuff saved me when I accidentally dumped a pot of near boiling soup on myself.
