A really dull knife is dangerous, but giving someone that doesn't know what they're doing your straight razor sharp knife is also very dangerous.

i seriously, unironically believe that a dull knife is much safer than a sharp one. please convince me otherwise. the only argument i've ever heard was something to the effect of
>because you have to put more force into it, it has a greater chance of slipping from the food you're cutting and onto your hand
but i don't see how that's a problem. it's dull. so what if that happens? the worst knife-related injuries i've gotten were minor knicks. the worst cut i've gotten was from a tin can.
meanwhile i guy i know who i distinctly remember one time complaining that the knives at his parents' house were dull sliced off the tip of his finger once.
how is a dull knife unsafe? please explain.

>> No.16152159

>>16152028
If you put more force into cutting something, the odds of it slipping and flying away increases. This is the highest cause of injury in home cooking. A dull knife will still go straight through your finger and tendons in this case, because 'dull' isn't blunt (t. aunt severed several tendons because she was using a dull knife on hard veggies)
Conversely a sharp knife will just go through everything, so as long as you aren't holding the food like a retard you won't have accidents.

Put the lid back on the pan if the fire is contained to cookware or smother the fire with baking soda or salt if it's small enough (don't attempt to use flour). You can also use a class B fire extinguisher.

Two possibilities:
1)you have decent reflexes and pulled back on the knife as it went down, grats. Fingers go chop chop when you get old.
2)your knife isn't as dull as you think it is, you don't have to autistically sharpen it every day for it to be sharp. If you can cut through a semi-soft tomato by moving the knife back and forth that knife is sharp.
I've seen grandma knives that literally will not go through tomato skin, they were using it by cutting in reverse (holding the tomato in their hands, cutting through the meat into the skin)

why cant i use water though? I can prepare a bucket of water ahead of time ready to throw on the fire.

>> No.16152245

my guess is, since the oil is on fire and oil floats on top of water, you just create a lot of flaming splashes

No you moron. Water and oil don't mix, so the water just pushes the oil around and makes the fire spread. Oil floats, so if you pour water into burning oil, the fiery oil just floats on top of the water.

i see. thank. i do struggle sometimes to pierce tomato skin but the knife always eventually wins out if i perform a sawing motion and i don't need to literally crush the tomato.
i have seen me mum cut tomatoes in her hand actually, but it's not because her knife is dull, it's because she's just used to just cutting things in her hand over the bowl/pot/pan. she just doesn't use a cooking board.

if it's dull to the point of being blunt then it poses no risk of cutting you. it's also not a useful tool but it's not more dangerous than using a razor sharp $500 chef's knife when you're a complete beginner. he's wrong and retarded. you absolutely should practice your chopping skills with a knife that's already been used and get used to using it safely and not making mistakes. it's so when those mistakes happen at least it doesn't shear your skin off or end in an injury that requires stitches. you're not fucking iron chef being paid to do this bullshit as a career you're just trying to fucking eat.

This is the correct answer.

That said, wouldn't overheated oil pose more of an everyday risk? I had a droplet of oil flick up and hit my eyelid the other day. It was a tiny drop, so nothing happened, but still.
