No more pain on hands with spatters from cooking. If you happen to get a painful scald, splatter on your hand while cooking slice an onion and keep it on for awhile. The onion immediately takes the pain away a wonderful relief. One may try onions for possible sunburn or other ideas for pain.

Aloe Jelly from the Aloe Vera plant is what I use. I get it from www.aloetherapy.com. If I get it on fast enough, no blisters. No pain and no smelly hands. Aloe has been used as a Medecional plant for centurys. I won't be without it for burns, sunburn, cuts, insect bites and ect.
Keep a bottle of Aloe Vera Gel (not lotion) in the kitchen. This is available at Wal-mart or most drug stores. If you have an Aloe plant, this is even better - just break off a piece of the leaf and squeeze out the gel.
I HAVE A POT OF ALOE VERA GROWING IN THE KITCHEN. I USE A PIECE OF IT IT WHEN I GET BURNED.....IMMEDIATLY I PUT IT ON. I BURNED MY HAND(THE WHOLE TOP OF MY HAND) WHEN I WAS MAKING PORK CHOPS, I RINSED THE GREASE OFF WITH COLD WATER AND PUT THE CUT END OF THE ALOE ON IT....NO BURNS!!!!OR BLISTERS...IT IS SO SOOTHING AND COOL
Thanks, Joni D! I didnt have aloe and the onion helped subdue the pain! Thanks
I agree! Egg Whites are my choice over all others! This is a tip used in restaurants. I had a huge burn (2in X 3 in) on my inside lower arm which was very painful. I researched on line and found out about eggwhites Applied it and the pain abated almost instantly. Continued to reapply it and there was no scarring or infection. You cannot tell that it was ever there, despite the fact that it was at least a half inch high blister that sloshed.
According to Snopes, using egg whites is NOT the secret! It's running cold water on the burn, also note that FLOUR doesn't work either. Please copy and paste this link into your browser and read it:

If it is a minor burn I find that running warm water over it hurts for a moment but then it feels better when you take you burn out of the warm water because the air cools it cold water feels good at the time but when
