ok this mightn't belong in another category if so feel free to move it.
Anyway I got really depressed and heated a butter knife till it was red hot and put it against my skin till it seared the skin like a steak, uh what kinda first aid do you do for that?

Right, run it under cold water and quick.
Then, put a frozen bag of something on it (whatever you have in your freezer)
Then smear it with Vaseline or cream.
Then get a cloth of some sort (something clean to dress it with), wrap it over the burn, and then get cling film and wrap it round the cloth (so around your arm or wherever the burn is)
