This is what you do. You keep your burned hand submerged in cold water (make sure it stays very cold) for as long as you want. The cold a) cools down the burned skin before it gets more damaged), and really takes away the pain for as long as the finger, etc. is submerged. If you have Sylvadine (sp?) cream, available only by prescription, that will more ro less instantly stop the pain, depending on the severity of the burn. What Popa described should be easily handled by this.
I once thoughtlessly picked up a frying pan by the handle, when it had been in my oven for a few minutes. Yes, I forgot to use a potholder. I had burns across a nice swath of skin. I immediately ran the cold water, filled a pot and put my hand in. Well, that is not really accurate. I immediately screamed my guts out, THEN went to get the cold water. After about half an hour, with changing the water a couple of times or adding an ice cube to keep it cold, I finally took my hand out. One area was burned a little more and thus still hurt a bit, but I had some of the Sylvadine cream from a time when someone in my family was a little careless while draining a pot of spaghetti (fortunately not injured too severely), and it worked instantly.
Be careful, people. And whatever you do, don’t put your finger in your mouth if you burn it on a popcorn (or any other)pot. Remember what happened to Moshe Rabbeinu.
Refuah shelaima, Popa.
