5 out of 5 stars

I was cooking some fish in a steel pan in the oven pulled it out and a minute later went to move it without an oven glove. The oven was set to 250 degrees celcius so I quickly put my palm under cold running water for about 5 minutes. I then took out the frozen peas and placed a dish towel around it and rested my palm on it for another 20 minutes. Then it was on to placing my palm in a bowl of cold water which I added a few cubes of ice in every 15 minutes or so for about 2 more hours. When I would take my hand out of the water the pain would soar within 5 seconds so I tried the foil.

I made myself a glove with the foil and held onto a cold can that was in the fridge I actually soon after went to sleep holding the can and when I woke up a few hours later the pain had disappeared. I put on some moisturisers and aloe vera and 24 hrs later it's great no blisters just a red mark of the pan handle which should be gone in a couple of days. I have had various kitchen burns and my best advice is leave it in cold water or place an ice pack wrapped in a cloth on it until the pain is gone when you take it off. It may take many hours but it's always worked for me.

Same as above post, was cooking steaks in a cast iron skillet and had just pulled them out of a 500 degree oven when I had a huge brain fart and grabbed the handle. Ummm, ya. Ouch. After slightly panicking and squirting mayo all over my hand to cool it which didn't help at all, I ran to the comp and this was the first site I saw. So after washing the goop off of it, I stuck my hand in cold water for about half an hour while I ate, then I wrapped it in aluminum foil with gauze over top of the foil. Another half-hour later my hand does not hurt at all, isn't pink, and I have no blisters! Yay for me :D Definitely works!
