Brilio.net - Cooking is a daily activity done by many people. Although it seems simple, this activity can cause various unwanted incidents. One of the most common incidents in the kitchen is skin being splashed with hot oil . This can happen when frying food, where boiling oil suddenly explodes and hits the skin, causing excruciating pain and potential burns.
Hot oil splashes are not only painful but also dangerous. Hot oil burns can cause serious skin damage, ranging from redness, blisters, to burns. If not treated properly, these injuries can leave permanent scars and increase the risk of infection. Therefore, it is important to take precautions such as using personal protective equipment and avoiding putting food that is too wet into hot oil.
If you have already been splashed with hot oil, many people then use various methods. One of them is by applying cream for burns. In addition, there are also those who choose to apply toothpaste or sprinkle flour as an instant way.
But instead of using toothpaste and flour, you can apply a trick done by Instagram user @ryzal1987. This chef and content creator shares a trick that can be done when splashed with hot oil. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted that the trick used can prevent the skin on his hands from blistering or even swelling.
