NTSB narrative

While preparing meal service in the forward galley a flight attendant (FA) was pulling meal boxes from the oven when a hot liquid splashed from a container onto her left hand. The FA treated the burn with ice and burn cream from the first aid kit and she continued to work the remainder of the flight. The crew reported the flight was smooth with no turbulence at the time of the event. After landing, the FA proceeded to the United Airlines medical clinic where she was diagnosed with a 2nd degree burn covering an area estimated to be approximately 1 inch by 3 inches on her left hand.
