by not being retarded, it's quite simple

>>10842202
Pot holders are useful. Or is this a cancerous shit thread creeping out from /b/?

>>10842217
>>10842214
being retarded has nothing to do with oil spitting. idc what you say i ain't touching that shit, guess i won't cook then

>>10842231
Get a splatter screen.

>>10842231
Guess you won't, now fuck off.

>>10842231
>being retarded has nothing to do with oil spitting.
Sure it does. Oil doesn't splatter on its own. Spattering requires you to make one, or both of the following fuckups:
-dropping food into hot oil from a height
-getting moisture into hot oil

So a non-retard would simply lower food into oil carefully to avoid splashing, and would pat wet foods dry before putting them into oil or a hot pan to prevent moisture-induced splatter.

>>10842252
fuck off. ur a retard. i was making fried chicken and all of a sudden these fuckin niggers spat at me out of the blue, scarring my neck. u cannot tame oil, when it is hot it spits.

>>10842202
It happens eventually if you cook often enough. There's a reason why "chef hands" are a thing

>>10842202
>neck
Wtf did you do.
I got scars on my neck too but it's from my bf choking me while he gouges my hole out with his cock

>>10842297
>, when it is hot it spits.
Again, only when there is moisture present. You can have a deep fryer full of hot oil and there won't be anything spattering unless you put moist food in it.

>chicken
sounds like you weren't careful about patting it dry before you breaded it.

>>10842317
All right, genius, do you dessicate your eggs before you fry them? Stop being an autist and accept that oil spitting is unavoidable in some cases.

>>10842332
don't tell me you're a retard who doesn't fry freeze dried eggs

>>10842332
It'd be so epic if you poured cold water into a vat of hot oil to prove the other anon wrong about moisture. Post results

>>10842312
the rest of it whent on my top. if i cooked topless it would have been really bad

>>10842332
>All right, genius, do you dessicate your eggs before you fry them?
Nope. But if they have a very runny white likely to cause issues then I will choose a different prep method than frying them.

I'll agree that sometimes there's not much you can do about it, but the overwhelming majority of the time splattering is direclty caused by the actions of a careless cook inadvertently getting water into the oil/pan.

>>10842332
I have been cooking professionally for 11 years and cooking at home for 20. I have never had hot oil spit on me.

>>10842363
I saw a guy drop a frozen turkey into a turkey fryer one time. It was epic.

>>10842231
lmao the retard trying to tell us how he's not retarded

>>10842332
If your eggs are spitting then your heat's too high anyway.
Use a splatter screen until you learn to cook.

>>10842202
I fucking love suicide girls

>>10842202
She has the same meaty wrists that I do.

>>10842633
I bought a cheap one on these when I was first learning to cook because Alton recommended it, and it's the stupidest fucking thing in the world.

>>10842411
that is bullshit. i agree that its easily avoidable, but theres no way you wouldnt have had it happen at some point, either when you were just starting or just being inattentive sometime

>>10842297
I hope this is bait. you are either third worlder or literally retarded

>>10842297
If only there was an invention to prevent this. Maybe it would cost 5 dollars and be a wire mesh that covered the pan....of only

>tfw people probably assume I self-harm or am a drug addict
Feels bad

>>10843168
no they don't faggit, you're just another cu/ck/ larping as a chef

>>10842202
On your NECK?

>>10842231
the amount of oil you'd need to splash up to your neck makes you a retard though
or you're a manlet, which is worse

>>10843181
I have a round burn scar that blistered right inside my elbow, I'm pretty sure it looks like something a junkie would have

I burned my wrist the other day on my waffle iron. I had the lip up and tried reaching over it.

>>10842202
Add ice cubes to your hot oil to cool it down.

>>10842297
Not using a high sided pot when inexperienced. If you're just starting out frying then you should only fill half the pot (so use a big pot if you need more oil). When you get more experienced you can do fried chicken in a fry pan using 1-1.5 inches of oil and just swirl the oil to baste the top.

>>10842202
I've been in the industry for 12 years, I've never gotten a burn or cut bad enough to leave a scar. There have been a couple times i've kissed my arms on pans coming out of the oven but nothing that's stayed longer than 2 weeks. Constant vigilance and communicating with people around you is pretty much all you have to do to stay safe in a kitchen.

>>10845188
thanks anon,worked as you said

>>10842202
Reminds me of that part in one of Anthony Bourdain's book where he got a job working in a shitty seafood restaurant as a kid and that his older coworkers with hairy arms and calloused hands would humiliate him when he burned his babby hands.
When he eventually went to culinary school, he had a professor who was cruel. He went from student to student to break them down. When he reached Anthony, the professor quickly realized that Anthony was already broken down, so he moved on.
The lesson is that in order to build someone up into something worthwhile, you have to break them down first.

>>10842633
Depends on what you're doing. Spanish fried eggs require quite high heat

>>10842202
>>10843168
who are these fucking mongs who manage to burn themselves so often?

Burns in the kitchen aren't rare by any means, but I've never seen such a useless chucklefuck that manages to get so many burns

They're seriously covered in em. How shit do they have to be? Are they four feet tall and trying to reach over the counter?

>>10843168
I've got a lot of scars on my hands, but I've never seen a cook with this many burns on their arms. How do you fuck up this much?

>>10845188
>Using ice cubes not cold water
t. Boomer

never burned myself ever. worked as a military cook . playing guitar for 15 years really helped, my fingers are made of stone. as for my arms I have really good eye hand coordination.

>>10842202
scar on your neck? next dont stick your face in the food while its cooking. lesson learned.

>>10842202
Is this a man or a woman?

>>10842317
What about bacon? I just bake it now but when I try to fry it on the stove it always splashes me.

>>10842202
Enjoy it while it lasts dumb fuck.

>>10842202
Stop being a bitch. Each scar and burn shows that you've experience. Cooking is a labour of love. Love it and get on with it. Also dry towels are quite handy.

>>10846952
Same with the army and same with seduction.

Who /cooknakedalways/

I cook butt fucking naked and have yet to burn myself.

Try not trying to cook everything with too much oil on max heat?

>>10845188

Doesnt do anything really except make popping sounds.

>>10846978

I have no idea. Its clear that theyre incompetent to the point of being a liability bot only to themselves but to the rest of the people working around them.. I mean yeah dude we all get tagged by the racks in the convection oven semi regularly when youre in and out of it a million times every sevice but idk what youre doing where youre getting BADLY burnt that regularly

>searing char siu duck hearts on a 575 degree french flat top
>busy as fuck
>instinctively grab grill towel and wipe each time i pull something off because im not a shitty cook
>towel sticks to caramelized sugar from hearts
>open palm slides off towel and forcefully onto the plancha

Ow ow ow ow ow

>>10842202
Don't be a pussy. A little pain won't kill you. I get burns all the time from the potholder being a bit off or grease splattering but I still cook. I once even spilled a gallon of boiling water on my entire hand which took about a month to heal up. I don't look to get burned, of course, but when you're around a ton of stuff that is really hot, it's gonna happen.

>>10846980
klutz+long hours im assuming

>>10851235

still not a great excuse for being a retard

>>10842202

speaking of retards, how hot was your oil, OP? 350-400? any higher than that and you're asking for an explosion.

>>10850040
Woman. Took me 30 seconds to figure out. Looks like a butch 25 year old. Rather than an old looking boy.

If you burn yourself often you are clumsy. It's not a sign of dedication.

>>10852901

yeah, it is indicative of incompetence. it's nothing to be proud of

>LOOK HOW MANY CUTS AND BURNS I HAVE!

git gud scrub

>>10842202
I don't understand why so many cooks have the tiger stripes on their forearms. I get dots from oil, finger burns, and have blanched the skin off my forearm with a steamer, but never once have I gotten anything further up my arm, let alone witnessed a reason to have so many.

>>10852938

oven racks in convection ovens

>>10848968
everyone on my line staff from a few years back had a red spot on their next from the inevitable mishaps while carrying a sheet pan of 40 baked potatoes at shoulder height from the oven to the hot box.

>>10852965

>implying the occasional burn from the hustle and bustle of a busy kitchen is anywhere close to the same as whatever this jerkoff did

cmon

>>10842633
>using one of these in a restaurant kitchen
