Burned by hot liquid or steam, or treated with very hot water, usually to clean, cook, or disinfect.
Usage & Nuances
'Scalded' is usually used for burns from hot liquids or steam—not dry heat. In cooking, it can also mean food treated briefly in very hot water, like 'scalded milk.' Common confusion: 'burned' can mean any burn; 'scalded' is specific to liquid or steam.
