Kitchen Safety
Preventing: The Home Safety Council recommends rolling up your sleeves and wearing oven mitts before you start cooking. If you can, try to cook only on the back burners. Be very careful when handling boiling liquids, especially if you will be draining them over the sink. Set all hot dishes away from the edge of the countertop so that they are not easily bumped or pulled off.http://www.homesafetycouncil.org/SafetyGuide/sg_cooking_w001.asp
What to do: If you are burned, run the affected area under cold water immediately for 10-20 minutes but don't use ice. Cover the burn with a clean, dry cloth and apply a salve and bandages for minor burns. Seek medical attention if the burn is serious enough (bleeding or exposed muscle tissue).http://firstaid.webmd.com/tc/burns-home-treatment
