If cooking and you splash HOT cooking oil, water, soup, tea or coffee on yourself the first thing you should do is IMMEDIATELY wipe the liquid off your skin with a clean tea towel or napkin DRAG, don't pat, the towel over your skin. I am guessing this works because you remove the liquid before it has a chance to burn through skin layers.
Many people are inclined to run their affected area under cold water or grab ice cubes, which prolongs the suffering later. But before you reach the sink or freezer, grab that nearby rag and wipe off the heat. It has worked for me many times and I have avoided burn marks and lengthy pain...hope it helps you!
