it freaking saved my hands from burning further (after getting stupid chilli burn- which i dont get when cutting up stupid chilli padis!- from holding the very potent 'hot stuff' from chef emmanuel during this afternoon's demo.)

anyhow.. washing hands with paste of baking soda really helped. i tried vegetable oil (temporary relief. burning sensation came back after washing off the oil), lemon juice (maybe there wasnt enough. but it did help a little), milk (only when it's cold). kinda desperate cause it was causing me quite abit of pain. googled it and found baking soda. was pretty skeptical. but thank god it worked and thank god it only costs $1 for 1bottle of that thing- and i only used 1/8 of it? kudos to BS man.
