What's the biggest injury you have sustained while cooking?
If nothing has happened to you, what's the worst injury you've seen in the kitchen?
someone once said my thanks giving turkey was dry and that fucked me up pretty bad
>>7731223
I was using a deep fryer naked to make country fried steak fingers and burned my dick by some splash a little so there a scar.
The steak fingers were bomb af tho.
>>7731223
one time when i was 12 i leaned over a pot and got bacon grease right in the eye
i was actually fine, it stung like a motherfucker for like a minute but
now as for the worst injury, my summer job when i was 17 was chopping up vegetables for this catering company, and one of my coworkers was this freshman in the same high school i was in
no one taught the poor kid how to hold a knife so he basically almost degloved himself the first day on the job
there's like a weird spiral scar around his left index finger, it moves alright and all but it is one of the first things you notice about him. he's pretty chill about it though
Took a corner off my thumb while using a mandolin.. wasn't using the plastic guard thing.
Now I never use it without the plastic guard. I also go much slower when near the end of what I'm chopping and never use it after I've been drinking.
>>7731227
Don't feel bad, modern turkey is so lean it's dry most of the time anyway.
>>7731223
not me, but my dad was at the luby's shooting in 91 if that counts.

When I was about 8 years old, my mom was cooking a huge pot of spaghetti sauce. It smelled wonderful and I needed to taste it. It had been simmering for about three hours, and I took a big scoop without cooling it, swallowing it immediately. It burnt the inside of my mouth to a crisp and seared my whole oesophagus. Had blisters everywhere ib the upper part of my digestive tract, couldn't swallow shit for a week. It hurt like hell, but I deserved it for being a glutton and stupid
Fingers in blender. Didn't lose anything, just bled a lot.
I was 8 and cutting a lime slice for my drink. I grabbed the sharpest closest knife near me, a big ol' butcher knife. Let's just leave it at after the first cut, there was a slice (1/4 an inch deep) from the middle of my pointer finger to my wrist.
also lime juice doesn't mix well with a cut

Nowadays the worst I'd get hurt by is the occasional oil splutter but there was one time in high school.
>grade 10 home ec
>finishing up cooking assessment
>cleaning up my dishes and utensils in the sink
>other girl is just finishing up and comes to clean up her stuff (including a pan just taken off the burner)
>I offered to help clean up seeing as I was pretty much done
>she proceeds to dump her stuff in the sink including the hot fucking pan (obviously I didn't know it was hot till it was too late)
>steam fires up in my face as soon as it hit the water not to mention how my hands were still in the water
>had a large burn mark on the top of my left hand as soon as I took it out
>of course she went red in the face with embarrassment as teacher was storming over to see who fucked up
>In the end I got an A for my work when we got our marks back the following week
>she got marked down for not understanding health and safety in the kitchen, got scolded in front of everyone
To be honest I don't know what I was expecting as she was one of those irritating girls who talk like a fucking baby all the time like saying "lellow" instead of "yellow"
Rubbed my shoulder on the edge of the handle on a super-hot pot of chili I'd been cooking for 6 hours or so.
>hmm, something's not right
>oh, my arm is pushing against burning hot metal
Made a cool little diamond-shaped mark that eventually went away.
Now, worst injury:
>washing dishes at the VFW while in high school, 16
>there is a little water spill on the floor
>wipe it up with a towel
>dumbfuck demands I mop the kitchen entryway
>uh, okay
>mop the entryway
>now instead of one spot, the ENTIRE entryway is slick
>the post commander and cook walks into the kitchen
>legs fly out
>makes a noise that sounds like a dog giving birth
>falls straight onto his back
He ended up being fine but holy fuck was he mad. And very fortunately his anger was immediately redirected once I said "Dumbfuck's the idiot that told me to mop"
>>7731223
those are some really dank footwear I'f I've ever seent any
>>7731662
How fucking young are you? That was some seriously inane high school drama. Probably also a woman.
>>7731223
I wasn't there for it, but a buddy of mine set his fucking hand on fire while cooking fries. He can't cook for shit and left a big pan full of oil unattended. It caught fire, and his first reaction, for whatever reason was to pick the pan up, to throw it in the sink, I guess.
Wound up splashing the flaming oil onto his hand and burned the fuck out of it.
Had to spend months getting skin grafts and shit. Now his hand looks like a fucking ghoul hand from Fallout. Looks pretty fucking gnarly.
Sliced my left thumb, nail and all.
A good half centimeter.
Blood everywhere, girlfriend freaking out yelling at me not to touch it.
I used the time she rushed to the next door supermarket, to buy of of those giant sized bandages, to cut a part of my nail (attached to the finger part) so i could see what was going on, more yelling ensued.
It hurt like a bitch.
>>7731253
How was he holding the knife?
>>7731223
I was cutting an avocado in half and the knife slipped and went towards my wrist. I still have a scar from it even if this was back when I was in middleschool.
>>7732027
Fucking emo
A few, not too horrific.
>roast beef with au jus

>dumbfuck sibling bumps into me
>pour it up my whole arm
The other one happened when I was like, eight.
>camping
>smores time fuck yes
>mom disinfecting skewers in fire after hotdogs
>this doesnt look hot
>put it to the back of my hand
I'm 23 now and still have a scar on my index finger.
>>7732045
I knew people would accuse me of that, I swear it wasn't like that. :c
I'm usually cooking and preparing pretty slowly so I don't hurt myself aside from burns or oil splatter. Grated some cheese a while ago and grated some of my thumb. I heal pretty fast so it was nothing a band-aid couldn't fix.
>>7731223
The house I grew up in was always a deathtrap, but the kitchen was hands down one of the most dangerous places to be. Most of the accidents took place merely while washing or putting away dishes, but a few less interesting, though thoroughly painful events occurred during cooking. Miserable organization, combined with constant overcrowding and general uncleanliness didn't help, but I've come to the conclusion that my family's "common sense" genes were selectively bred out.
For example, one afternoon, I was having a distracting conversation with my mother while sawing through a bagel. You can guess what happened next. That left a small scar on my left index finger.
My brother always seemed to be good at hurting himself. Apart from slicing his hand open with a knife, he also burned a significant portion of his body with a bowl of baked beans. The sudden shock of burning his hands as he lifted the bowl out of the microwave somehow compelled him to jettison the beans all over his torso, and he had to go to the hospital, if I remember correctly. I had a similar incident with chicken nuggets that ended with my favorite plate being broken and a ton of big blisters on my right hand.
>>7731223
pretty fucked up burns on my left hand and wrist. It wasn't actually all that bad, I think the nerves got burned away pretty quickly so only the ones surrounding the wounds actually reacted. I was able to walk to the hospital myself no problem.
I also cut my right index finger almost clean through trying to open a packet of meat. Fuck being left handed sometimes.
I haven't worked in a kitchen for years and you'll see why in a second.

It was shit, it was worse when the gauze had to be removed.
It's definitely a 10 out of 10 on my pain scale, infinitely worse than the time I broke my collarbone.
>>7732155
>worse than broken collarbone
Pretty fucking bad then. At least you got a good war story out of it, I suppose.
i worked in an ice cream parlour for a couple of months and had to clean the waffle maker at the end of every shift, which on a bad day would take 30mins-1hour
i worked with this portuguese guy who had no concept of safety and one day asked me to help him move the waffle machine whilst it was still on, it rotated and the inside pressed on my arm so i had a nice grid shaped burn/scar on my inner right forearm for a few months
>>7731223

other than that i've only had minor burns and cuts.
>>7731838
it was a combo of holding the knife bad and also not clawgripping the food right
so his index was exposed and he didn't have any blade control, i think he was sort of bringing it up and down with his wrist a little?
it starts like, right above the second knuckle. the scar I mean.
>>7731223
Knife to the gut. I was bending over the dishwasher and my sister placed the largest blade point-up. I tripped slightly and spent the next week in hospital.
Still have a 3inch wide scar below my navel.
>>7732353
I shit anyone out in my house for leaving big knives pointing up in the dishwasher, we have a tiled floor and the dishwasher is next to the sink so the floor regularly gets wet and becomes slippy.
>>7731223
This may seem really stupid, but trust me, its definitely up there for the worst experiences of my life in terms of constant pain. My asshat of a boss made me spend ~2 hours scrubbing the "black stuff" (caked on carbon that does not come off steel pots) off of a small metal pot using a steel wool. She didn't have gloves, so I had to use my bare hands. I didn't notice until after, because my hands were submerged in water, but I actually removed almost my whole epidermis on every single one of my fingers on my right hand because of the steel wool constantly eroding the sodden skin on my hands. I remember my hand being raw for a couple weeks, and touching anything was comparable to the feeling of someone slowly scarping your hand with sandpaper. Fuck that lady.

I sustained my first kitchen injury when i was 4. It was my birthday and i was sitting on my dad's lap while he held a knife, ready to cut my cake. Apparantely i caught my arm on the tip of the knife and i was cut pretty badly. That or my dad purposly cut my cheeky cunt self for reaching for some cake when it wasnt time

Not really a kitchen story, but when I worked at a coffee shop, a gallon of coffee for pickup burst in me (shitty, flimsy cardboard containers with a thin plastic bag inside). I had to and take off my pants/shirts to prevent worse burning. I have a pretty wicked burn scar, whatever you call it on my chest and thighs. Wasn't particularly traumatic, but man the company I worked for fought like motherfuckers to prevent me from getting workers comp for the 10 days I had to take off to let the burns heal.

Sounds like Starbucks. How serious was it? Did you go to the hospital?
When I was a kid we had this mixer similar to pic related that had a handle on the top, and for some reason the tilting part could easily detach from the lower part. Anyway one time I picked it up by the handle without supporting the lower half and it just slid off and landed on my big toe. It swelled for a month or so and eventually my entire toenail came off.
>>7733163
>for a month or so and eventually my entire toenail came off.
>my entire toenail came off.
I physically flinched from reading that.
That's fucking gross, anon.
>>7733175
Hope you never get an ingrown toenail, they literally grab your toenail with a clamp and rip it off at the base
>>7733194
Yeah I've heard it's pretty bad.
>tfw my life has been pretty injury-free
>worst cooking injury was getting surprised by bacon grease when I was little and watched my dad cook

>>7733089
Mobile brah.
>>7733106
Not Starbucks, but a small local chain. I was in a good deal of pain and insisted that I should go to the hospital, but the GM said that I was fine (stupid I know but I was 19 and worried about getting fired, because I needed the money and I didn't know my rights etc). It wasn't until I talked to my dad that night that I went and my folks, suffice to say were livid. They had me quit immediately and there was a small civil suit.

Does it count if I burned my arm while getting coffee at work?
>>7731223
I once stuck my thumb in a wok of hot oil. It ballooned up and hurt like a bitch. Then the skin fell off and left me with this gross raw thumb. Good thing it was my right, and I'm left handed.
I also sliced my thumb open on a piece of rye bread. Same thumb. Yes, a piece of bread.

>>7731223
I cut my finger once while slicing a watermelon, it wasn't very bad though.
Worst injury I've ever seen in the kitchen was this girl who had just been hired on trying to open a package of cheese with a freshly-sharpened kitchen knife by pulling the blade toward her. She cuts through the packaging and the blade comes up and hits her in the eye, knocking it right out of the socket.
When I was a dishwasher at a BBQ restaraunt one of the cooks told me the baking sheets she just gave me were just out of the oven and hot as fuck. I forgot they were hot and my forearm brushed up against one and I had myself a little first degree burn. Ran it under cold water and went back to work, and it lwft a small scar for a year then went away.
Slipped while carrying a pot of boiling water and pasta that I was about to drain and now have a large pink scar across my stomach.
>>7733685
Holy shit, anon. What happened to her?
I was a little grill, playing on this red plastic bike (basically a toy, not a real big). Figured out how to drive it backwards, right into a larger grill. Burned me something awful. Good thing there was a portable pool in the garden, which my grandmother immediately dunked me in. Still burned about a third of my back pretty badly.
I've never really fucked up while making food myself. Probably partially because that incident left me shit-scared of heat, and I'm a pretty cowardly person by nature.
>>7733782
I never understood how people developed fear of fire this way. I got pretty badly burned with a blowtorch when I was a kid, and to this day I can remember the pain as vividly as when it happened. But I just ain't afraid of fire. If I weren't such a klutz I'd take it as a sign that I should cook professionally.

Grease burn on my hand while trying to deep fry some chicken, its not too bad tho

I dunno, some people are build to take risk, some are build to avoid it. I am just by nature excessively cowardly. Got stung by a bee once, have been absurdly afraid of them ever since.
Stupid old me decided to try to use an immersion blender to make pastry dough (didn't have a proper food processor at the time), and when the butter and sugar inevitably got all gummed up, I didn't unplug the fucker before I started scraping it out.
>>7734058
30 stitches, and I had to have tendon reattachment surgery.
my wife poured hot water in a glass pot and it exploded. she got 2nd degree burns on her belly and thigh. I have a gore pick of the first time she took the bandages off but this is a blue board.
a friend made steaks and got hot oil in his eye while he was wearing his contacts. it melted in his eye and he needed a retina transplant. it's still not clear if he will lose his eye eventually.
another one was grilling with his family. his 3y/o son fell into the firepit and got nearly lethal burns. his body looks like melted skin 2 years later.
>>7734064
what a mess, it looks like you're wearing an effeminate ring with some kinda web pattern
>>7734112
It was pretty bad. I swear though, getting all of those stitches out seemed to hurt more than the actual incident itself did.
>>7734119
stitching is generally a more painful business than the incident it's addressing. it's not there to treat the pain.
>>7734137
Carefully
>>7734132
No. I just hadn't taken into consideration the fact that after so many weeks, the skin/tissue heals around the stitches, so the process pulling each one out would be quite agonizing.
Last one for me, got a wicked burn using a convection steamer at work. The thing was on the fritz and after I shut it off and was reaching in to pull out my perf pan of vegetables, it randomly decided to jet hot steam at my arm.
This is what it looked like the morning after. By the end of the day, the whole area that's red in this pic had filled with yellow fluid. It looked like someone had melted Turkish delight and injected it into most of my forearm.
>>7734177
FUCK
>>7734179
what's so fuck about that, if you burn yourself on steam it'll sometimes set under your skin, just pop in and squeeze out the water and youll be fine
>>7734177
Lancing that thing mush have been so satisfying.
>>7731662
Fuck off
>>7734211
It's fuck the fact that he let it grow so big before lancing it
>>7734214
Not as much as I would have hoped. I was sort of scared that it would just explode everywhere, but it was more of a slow drip. And then it would partially refill periodically, and just slosh around in the wrinkly skin bag that was left behind.
I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get a wicked scar to show for it. But my co-workers gave me a thing of silver sulfadiazine, so it healed well.
>>7734228

Deep frying oil splatter from 15 years ago that took a patch of skin clean off my hand.

I've had a few minor burns but nothing major.
My sister started a grease fire in my parents kitchen when we were in our late teens. She panicked and ran the burning pan out to the back porch to toss it. Managed to get second degree burns all over her arm and side from the splashing grease, left black smoke stains all over the kitchen ceiling, fried a piece of the backyard.
She also managed to splash the poor family cat, which left a bald spot on her back until the day she died.

When I was very young I dropped a cleaver.
I instinctively tried to catch it so I wouldn't damage the floor and catch shit. I almost lost the end of my finger - got stitches at hospital.
Thanks to my mom for her fucking poverty-tier-aids that trained me a few bucks is more important than life or limb.

Burned my arm on the wall of an oven, leaving a tiny white scar that disappeared two years ago.
>>7731223
Two of my fingers on my dominant hand got deep fried, they swelled to the width of a banana

I cut open my thumb carving a pumpkin when I was like 8.
That's about it, though.

Fillet knife through finger .. throne by head chef
This one time chefs idiot son is in kitchen standing bulls hiring in front of the oven
Tell him to move I'm opening the doors
He says ok
Turn to grab a towel quick then I turn back around and open the doors
The idiot literally walked away for 2 sec then walked right back as I opened the doors
I hit him in the face with the hot doors
(Didn't realize he's there)
Grab pan and turn around to put it on table
At the same time he moves twords the table
The hot pan hits his arm and burns him agein he jerks back and hits his elbow on the stove and burns himself agein
He dad the chef saw the whole thing and just laughed I thought I was gunna get bitched at
And the worst I ever got was when this kid was emptying fryers he puts the hot oil in a pot and is taking it to the grease traps he turns the corner with out saying so
Walks right into me with the pot and spills some on my chef coat I'm not talk about like a cooking bacon splash back I'm talking half a soda can of oil on my right arm and upper chest and a little on the side of my face
As I tried to get my chef coat off I felt it burn more with each button I undid
Chef walks up asks if I'm ok then laughs fml

Bull shitting* auto correct sorry
Sliced a bagel while holding it, cut through the meaty part just below my thumb. I remember that it didn't hurt at all and it was a minor inconvenience but it's my most prominent scar to this day.

Why do you wear a kid sized belt on your wrist?
Someone passed me a hot fucking frying pan full of oil when I was in high school, and I accidentally threw it at the teacher as I burnt myself.

I sliced my pinky pretty well with a steak knife accidentally while stabbing pieces of chocolate

Retarded server put a broken plate into a food waste can near the sink. At the end of our shifts she asked me to take it out for her because it was overfilled. I had to lift underneath it and damn near sliced half my finger off.

It didn't take, turned black, and ended up falling off while I was cooking at my other job at the waffle house. Probably ended up in somebodies hashbrowns.
