How do burns work?

Like if you were to touch a really hot pan and then instantly run it under cold water.. I was told that it didn’t stop the burning process, it just made the burn like stunned ? So it’s better to use lukewarm water ..?🙂

It’s all about energy transfer. When you burn yourself, energy tries to push through your molecules to fast and it wrecks them. Cold water takes up energy so it helps. The deper the energy is in your body the harder it is to pull it out. too cold pulls out energy to fast and that again fcks with your molecules.
