What's Cooking? Not Me!

Lavender harvested from my garden.

So What’s Cooking? Not me.

I was given and gratefully received a couple of oven burn protectors. They fit over the shelf edges and do not become hot in the oven so you can accidently brush your hands or wrists against them and not be burned. I don’t really need them.

I have not had an oven burn for years – ha ah the wonderful attributes of Lavender essential oil.

Should you get one of those small oven burns – the scarring irritatingly lasts for years… after running your hand under the cold tap for 10 minutes, apply a neat drop of lavender oil to the affected area. The burn heals very quickly and, in my experience, there are no long term scars.

Funnily enough, I only had to do this once and never suffered again!

Of course first aid principles apply – if it is a big burn it cannot initially be treated this way.
