Though it's a sizeable chunk missing, I didn't go to the hospital; I spent 6 months straight in hospital and I'm now afraid of another long hospitalisation, so I avoid it if I can. Then again... if you're to lose money either way, better to pay the doctor than the undertaker.

[sage No.3898127]

Worked in a prep kitchen for a swanky place in Philly when I was in college.

The 40 year old sous used to come downstairs to our potato peeling hole to smoke out the window and give us a hard time, but he told some interesting stories. Said he was working in NYC when he was younger at an upscale place with an abusive head chef that liked to take his frustrations out on the dishwashers and support staff. One day one of them had enough and grabbed a ladle from the wall and dipped it into the fry well, walked up behind the chef, and threw it in his face. The chef went screaming out into the dining area scaring the shit out of the customers and the dishwasher just walked out the back like his shift was over.

Dat video, mayne.

Anyway, I've never had anything too bad. It was probably a tie between when I cut my hand open slicing red peppers. The cut bleed everywhere (even though it wasn't too bad), and I passed out... the other one was when we were removing marinara that was cooking on the burners. It was a huge pot so one person to each handle. I used a towel to grab it because it was super hot, but the towel slipped enough to wear it wasn't covering my hand, but we couldn't put it down immediately so it seared my hand pretty bad.

I suffered through grabbing saute pans fresh out of the oven several times, once flipped fish in a pan just out of the oven and had my flesh look like melting cellophane from the oil spilling on my hand. The worst lingering pain was when I opened a steamer to grab a lobster.
Was a late teen for the latter incidents. After the fish-flip incident, I ran to the first person I saw and asked what do. The gay waiter said to put it in butter so I shoved my hand into a huge container of butter....

Yeah I fucking hate when someone puts one of the plastic handled pans in the oven, and sets it on one of the wooden boards. I mean, the handle can take brief contact with a handle that's gotten hot from the range, molten plastic is another issue.

My most serious injury was when one of the morning bitches put a pan over the steamer's exhaust. When I unlatched the door, it blew upon and burned my whole damned arm.

Guy had enough will to not drop the entire thing (and set the entire kitchen on fire), put it back down before everyone in the entire kitchen started spraying him with the fire extinguisher.

I've never hurt myself really bad in a kitchen, pretty much all the ordinary stuff. Minor burns, nicks, cuts, blunt trauma, ect. The worst thing I've ever done that I can remember is peeling potatoes as a wee lad of 7-8. Took an entire layer of skin off the side of my thumb with a veggie peeler. Fucking as-seen-on-TV ceramic peelers. Haven't even touched a peeler since, and I'm 37 years old. I've come close to seriously fucking something up, before. Nearly stabbed a filet knife through my hand while cleaning a fish and nearly took my thumb off with a hatchet while cleaning another, much bigger, fish.

Might've been reusing it. I used to work at a pizza place that also sold wings, which were the only thing to go in the frier, so the oil would only get changed every 5 days or so, but the inside would be scrubbed with a brush to free up crap that was stuck or breading that had sifted to the bottom. It would hit the filter and the oil was good to go for the next day (usually).

Lel, I am a very cautious cook. Wet rag under cutting board, No hot pots or pans leave the stove without cooling, and I clean cuttery right after I use it.
But let me tell you about my mom's friends sister inlaw.
She's fat as shit. But fat people can cook, right? Wrong, completely wrong. This fat piece of shit nearly chopped her thumb off while cutting veggies cause she can't keep her mouth closed enough to concentrate. Luckily my mom's friend was an ex paramedic and got her to elevate and pressure.
The second time she tried to cook, she placed her hand directly on a burner she just turned on, then this fat shit was still talking up a storm, and still managed to get second degree burns when the burner was completely cold before she turned it on. Last time she tried to cook she used a paper towel as a pot holder. Yes, she gave up on cooking. Yes, I hope she and her nigglette son die in a fire.
P.S.: before you ask, the nigglette drop kicked his baby cousin in the face because it was fun.

I saw a new guy (I was training him) drop a pair of tongs into a frier and try to go in after him but I caught his arm and he only burnt the tips of his fingers, still looked pretty painful but no blistering.

I sometimes cook, drunk (no, not in a restaurant, just at home).

I make sure I complete all activities requiring sharp blades before getting drunk, because I've managed to deep cut my finger in the past in an intoxicated state.

Using fire and hot oil for cooking, drunk, is dangerous, but if you're cooking outside (BBQ, so fire in the large backyard far from everything) it doesn't pose much threat.

I think the biggest threat is a closed kitchen environment, which is what restaurant cooks face as a risk everyday.

This might not be a helpful advice to anyone in this profession, but closed environment (which one has no choice as they have to work in a densely populated place) with fire is always dangerous.

We had 312 covers for a restaurant that was a refurbished house from the late 1800's (basically, it was small as fuck), and our manager was genius enough to have us cook the full brunch menu, full dinner menu, AND a Mother's Day specials menu.
We were only a few hours into the thing. Plus I was in charge of running half the breakfast line, and also prepping/cooking half the lunch/dinner line. Little breading never killed anyone maybe probably.

Oh man. After about 8 years of it, i had recently just quit working in high volume line/prep kitchens and moved into baking.

I've seen/had some brutal burns and cuts in those years. Barely anything painful happens in a bakery. The worst i've seen yet was someone barely burn themselves on the oven door. Nothing in comparison to grease burns or grabbing a pan handle that has been in fire for way too long.

same guy here.

I once seen a guy cut off the tip of his finger while cutting some sort of veg. He ran to the washroom to try and deal with the bleeding. We thought the nice thing to do would be to throw away everything and clean his station for him. He ends up freaking out about his finger tip and makes my boss dig through the garbage can looking for his finger tip. At one point he had thought he had found it but it turned out to be just a piece of old, fried chicken.

He ended up finding the finger tip and demanding the doctor sew it on. It later fell off a few days later.

Who said anything about American healthcare or paying money? I'm afraid of hospitals. I have a genuine phobia of them. I'd think after you spend 6 months straight confined to a hospital bed, you might be a tad phobic yourself.
It has nothing to do with costs. It wouldn't cost me a thin coin. Thank goodness for that, but I'd still rather not take up a hospital bed because I'm still afraid of hospitals.

We had a barbeque and when we were done one guy accidentally laid his hand on top of the still-hot hood.
He got pretty bad first degree burns all over his palm, not quite second degree.
I told him to stick it in water and basically not do anything with it.
Problem was, we were on a boat and later he wanted to go back out to go tubing.
I told him not to cause of his hand and the risk involved, but he had so much fun tubing before he just had to.
Thirty minutes later, they come back asking me what the hell to do cause the skin on his palm rubbed off when he was holding onto the tubing rope.
It was already damaged from the burn and the water only made it weaker.
What the fuck, so we rubbed alcohol on it and wrapped it up. Painful to sterilize, and hurt like hell the rest of the day.
Now the next day, the palm was still hurting, so some other genius comes up with the idea to fill him with alcohol to dull the pain.
He was throwing up and pale and passed out on deck for the rest of the entire day.
God I didn't envy that guy.

Burn injuries aer really the worst. The following 2 days were pure agony and I would've gladly choppen of 1 of my finger if it would've stopped the pain

[Anonymous No.3901356]

I worked in a deli/coffee shop for awhile in high school and hurt myself a few times. Nothing real serious though. I accidentally bumped up against a panini press that I didn't realize was on until I smelled burning hair. I cut my thumb down to the bone when I was slicing a bagel. The worst one was when I was cleaning the steam wand on the espresso maker. I accidentally bumped the button to turn it on and had second degree burns all over the palm of my left hand. That one hurt like a motherfucker too. Steam burns are bad.

My worst kitchen injury came at home though. I was drunk at about 6 in the morning after a party, and decided I wanted some sausage. I got some frozen patties out of the freezer but they were stuck together, and the only thing I could find to try to pry them apart with was a paring knife. 30 seconds later, there's a paring knife stuck through the skin between my thumb and index finger. Had to call an ambulance to come take me to the hospital (I didn't know anyone who was sober enough to drive within 200 miles) and got a tetanus shot and a half dozen stitches.

Just happened little over an hour ago, we had to shut down the restaurant. I came home, drank some vodka to dull out the screams and am now posting.

One of our prep guys, he's nice, albeit a tad underwhelming when it comes to his job, but I've never held that against him. Today he was using the band saw to cut up some meat.

During dinner, we were short about two dozen and the EC really laid it on him, so off he went to cut some more. He couldn't cut fast enough for the chef, so he started cutting corners, which lead to the most horrific thing I've ever witnessed.

He cut his hand in half. Between his bird and ring fingers down to his wrist. I've never seen blood spray before, I always though that Tarantino was just exaggerating.

I don't have kitchen ones but I used to work in a Forge, you think cooking is bad.

100+ Ton press for making truck axles. It's got a bit of splinter in it (Steel that comes off during pressing) so the guy sticks hos head under to reach and get it off. Didn't disconnect and safety the machine. It thuds and foreman runs out. (We are only allowed to make so many a day because of the noise, you can hear the thumps it makes 20+ miles away So he knows something has happened when the machine goes off unscheduled)
2 weeks off work for all of us, free therapy for those who wanted it.

There was nothing left of him above his stomach. it was spread over the press and floor.

Same sort of deal, smaller press for basic molding. Only his arm. We got the day off for that. Amazing thing is there was next to no blood because the press clamped the stub shut.

Steel room where we melt the steal using Electrical Arcs, a guy committed suicide by jumping into the pot in between arcs.

Flash boiling in cooking

There is also a cooking technique called flash boiling, in which a smaller amount of water is used so as to quicken the process of boiling. An example of this technique is used to melt a slice of cheese onto a hamburger patty, whereby the cheese slice is placed on top of the meat on a high-heat surface (e.g., a hot frying pan), and a small quantity of cold water is thrown onto the surface near the patty. A vessel (such as a volume-rich small pot or frying-pan cover) is then used to quickly seal the steam-flash reaction, which disperses much of the steamed-water on the cheese/patty, which results in a large release of heat in a transfer resulting from the vaporized water condensing back into a liquid, resulting in an energy release (a principle also utilized in refrigerator and freezer production).

While I never personally witnessed anything major there were a few incidents that happened while I was working there.

Guy got the tips of like 3 of his fingers amputated when he closed a type of hydraulic clamp on them.

Another guy got his fingers smashed when a jacked up forklift fell and he had his hand under the wheel(fucking retard).

Molten metal splashed on guy's ankle.

Caustic burns down the whole side of a guy's body from a boil over.

And finally there was a guy that used to work there that got a new job at a nearby sweet potato processing plant. A few weeks later a valve on a pipe that had hot oil running through it failed and he had oil burns down 50% of his body.

To the guy asking about injuries in the forge.

This was in the 70's and 80's yes it happened all the fucking time, they used to call the night crew who would turn the furnaces the high-five crew, because, I shit you not, They where the only people with 5 fingers on each hand.

My old director of the plant had 1 arm and 1 leg, both injuries through work. And back then you didn't sue, you took paid leave until you felt fit to come back. Not many deaths but amputations at least 3-4 a year. Fingers most common, but you could do 90% of the jobs there without them.

Burns not so much, you really didn't get room to fuck about in the steel room. Really you didn't want to, 1000 litre casts full of molten steel being craned across the room, No-one wanted to be anywhere near it.
