If you can get to an aloe plant, the juice is not toxic and has healing properties in it. Apply liberally to the burned area. I keep a bottle of aloe juice in the refreigerator and it is greeat for minor sunburns. Bless his little heart...I wish I could wave my wand and make him all better.

I realize I'm a little late, but cool running water and don't put anything on the burn. That's what we're instructed to do in case a patient burns their self. Then depending on how bad it is, you may need to take him in.

yeah i know i t urned around for a second to drain the water out and i heard a scream , somehow i figured out what he did and turned the cold water on and stuck his hand under it for a while.
He was saying hot and pointing everytime while the pot was still on there, i guess he assumed only the pot was hot and not hte oven itself, cuz the burners dont turn red really, only for a second when its on high then they get dark again and its all flat so sorta cant tell .
