I don't know about the clingfilm but my unscarred face is more proof that immediate cool water submersion can protect scalding victims - link.

Apparently so. It probably explains my lifelong fear of the medical profession though ...

Nasty. @Matt1705 Careless bugger !! I hope you heal fast
My daughter spilt an almost boiling pot noodle on her thigh when she was about 9 or so. Very fortunately my eldest son who was around 14 at the time had the presence of mind to take her jeans off and wrap her leg in a cold wet towel and to keep adding more cold water to it. She did end up with a mahoosive blister but it left no scarring at all.
It just goes to show that Pot Noodles are BAD for you.

a few years ago now i was an absolute idiot
and jumped on a slightly unsafe 350cc old british matchless motorbike with an exposed exhaust whilst i was wearing swimming trunks as shorts! and i melted loads of skin on that leg and it f*cking hurt and there was lots of tears and obscenities that mustn't be repeated!

At the allotment during the summer we have a dutch oven on top of a clay chimenea that we all add a bit of veg , meat and herbs too . I think we have fed about 9 people from it and still had some left over . Anyhow we leave that bubbling away for hours while we get on with our work ( drink beer ) One day my friend decided it was time to dish up the stew and picked up the oven by the handles . For those that don't know a dutch oven is a cast iron pot .
He let out an almighty scream as his hands melted to the handles but he managed to put the oven down with out spilling the food
He spent the rest of the night with his hands in a water butt , the stew was nice though

That's terrible.
WTF are you doing giving a 9 year old a Pot Noodle.
In my defence, I wasn't there at the time. Pot Noodles have never been seen in my shopping basket.

I was lucky that the doctor was there because I reckon my mum might have run to a phone to call him if he hadn't been! Mind you, if his arrival hadn't distracted her in the first place, she would never have left me near a pan of boiling water!Blimey Col.

Was the pasta OK?
Actually yes, most of it landed on the bed so I just scooped it back into the pan. Didn't fancy it straight away so saved it for when I parked up in the evening.Was the pasta OK?
Needless to say I was more careful heating it up this time
