I have worked as a waitress for many years, as a waitress you always seem to burn yourself. Every waitress I have come across agrees that if you happen to burn yourself, apply milk to the burn. It truly does work.

MILK FOR BURNS.— A practical physician recommends cloths saturated in milk as one of the best remedies for burns. A bad burn treated in this way healed with surprising rapidity, although other remedies had been used without benefit.

From the book; Health Reformer, Volume 28, edited by John Harvey Kellogg, James Thomas Case

1893, page 59.

The best (tested) things for burns are: moist baking soda or aluminium foil. Learned about this here on EC and use it every time I get a burn while cooking
