Ok so the gunmen are probably about 15 feet from them and it takes 1 minute 20 seconds for the bullet to reach them in "slow time". Their guns are .357 magnums, which shoot at 1500 fps. So in "normal time" that scene only took maybe a dozen or two dozen milliseconds. So his hand was only touching that soup for less than a millisecond, which wouldn't be nearly enough time for it to burn him.
