Today, as I was trying to remove my lunch from the hot oven tray, my finger brushed against the metal for a moment, and I instinctively put it in my mouth. I burnt my tongue, on my finger. I didn't realize that was possible. FML

It's just a transfer of a large amount of heat/energy. Put it under cold water next time to avoid blisters!

Tip if anyone ever burns there finger: Instantly put ice on it! Otherwise your skin will keep cooking from the burn. Practically like a chicken in a oven!

Not true. After you remove yourself from whatever's burning you, your skin won't comtinue to cook because it's now exchanging energy to the room temperature air, so it'll cool down. You also do not put cold water, and you DO NOT EVER put ice on a burn. It causes blisters and possible nerve damage since they expand from the heat then quickly contract from the cold, just like blood vessels. Treat a burn like reverse frostbite; put it under warm water, then slowly ease it to cold water.

Are you really that stupid?! You never apply cold water or ice to a burn (unless you want nerve damage) room temperature water is what you want

Ouch OP. I know the feeling. Burned myself a few times cooking and I know it's not fun. Hope the burn wasn't too bad!
