Is there any truth to the email that flour is good for burns on you?

All-purpose or bread flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, oil or melted butter, sometimes egg and milk.

That often happens because when the flour is mixed in the beginning small amounts are kicked up in a dust and can settle then on the heating element. Later when the heating elements comes on to bake that fine flour dust can smell for a few seconds. until burns off. If the smell doesn't go away after a while then you may have a problem

Definitely , absolutely NOT! NEVER EVER put flour on burns.
This can pull the skin away and cause a terrible amount of pain and possible infection. Cool water on superficial burns, and other burns cover with a clean cloth and seek medical aid at once!!!!!!

When you're on a different planet.

The standard treatment for burns is to put the affected area under cold water, e.g. from a cold tap, for at least 20 minutes.

NO it certainly does not. It's one of the worst thing you can do as the flour would stick to any blister and cause a lot of problems. If the burn is not severe. First run it under a cold tap then pat dry and apply the juice from an aloe vera plant then cover with a bandage to keep germs out.. If it is a bad burn cover with a clean cloth and seek medical aid.

Yes! you pour flour into the machine and it sifts it for you! the sifted flour then falls into the lower bowl. this one is good-http://www.pastrychef.com/TABLETOP-ELECTRIC-FLOUR-SIFTER_p_1906.html

Hi, a common mistake that people make using bread machines is to use the wrong kind of flour. If you are using all purpose flour it will not perform well. You need to use flour marked "bread flour" on the bag. Also the yeast and water have to be at the right temperature. I could probably help you better with a chat on fixya, but perhaps what I have already suggested will help. If you want to chat I suggest 7:00 pm eastern time tomorrow. email me back if you want to try that.

If you want really good bread you need to ditch the all purpose flour. It will always be more dense and short compared to bread flour. Be sure to buy a bag of flour that says "bread flour" on the bag.You will get a more normal looking and tasting bread.
