Cold water is not a universal remedy, however.  My husband recalls the 
time his mother splashed fluid (molten) caramel on her hand and stuck it 
under the cold water tap--- it formed a crust on the outside but 
continued to cook her hand underneath!

What other general classes of things besides candies might do this "forms 
surface crust when cooled, continues to cook underneath" reaction?

Thanks,
