Treat a minor kitchen burn

  1. 1

    Cool water, twenty minutes.

    Lukewarm-cool running water, and yes, the full twenty. It keeps working long after the sting fades. Never ice.

  2. 2

    Remove rings and watches now.

    Before the swelling arrives, not after.

  3. 3

    Judge the size and depth.

    Bigger than the person’s palm, white or charred, on face, hands or joints, or any child burn: medical care, today.

  4. 4

    Cover loosely, cream sparingly.

    Cling film or a non-stick dressing. No butter, no toothpaste, no home legends.

  5. 5

    Leave blisters closed.

    The blister is sterile cover. Watch for spreading redness or pus, which mean a doctor.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.

No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
