buckytom said:never, EVER, put ointment, or anything greasy on burns. cold water is about the only thing you should put on a burn, to arrest the temperature ofthe burning skin. and unless you know what you're doing, don't cover or dress a burn, unless it's bleeding.
people used to put butter on burns!!!! they might as well have put an eggwash on it.
nothing like helping the skin to get that sweet buttery taste, and golden crust.
Did you know that lemon extract is also good for a burn?
Helps the hurt and you smell like pledge.
Actually, for a while there, I was keeping a can of Solarcaine in the kitchen for such mishaps. Works wonders.
