Ok, what does anyone do for kitchen burns - today I was taking out a roaster from the oven and got a painful steam burn on my thumb - I used to have some silvadene that worked really well but I'm out - any suggestions? |

I just burned my thumb with a big splotch of tomatoe sauce, when I was canning. My husband googled it and You are just supposed to keep the burn in cool water. I carried a cup of water around with my thunb stuck in it for about an hour. He said useing ice makes the burn go deeper. I don't know but the cool water took the hurt away. Of course then it blistered up several times, etc, etc, but is finally almost all healed up.

yes, on the aloe.
but i usually use some lavender essential oil diluted in a little bit of olive oil. it's AMAZING on burns! |

Ok, promise you won't laugh...I keep a small tube of Nupercainal (yep, for hemorrhoids!!) in my kitchen drawer. Works fabulously to take the ouch out of burns!

we used to keep a large aloe vera plant outside..simply break off a piece of a tip of the plant, open it up and smear it onto the burn.
and of course a good old ice cube works well.
