Not really cooking related in a sense that me and my friend were making butane hash oil. Well the gas got ignited from static electricity because of improper ventilation. There was a huge fucking gas explosion that lasted one nanosecond. My friend was pushed to the other side of the room by the pressure and the stove was broken in middle. Luckily no other injuries expect the broken stove and my friend's beard got burned.

Spilled boiling water on my right hand as a kid. My dad called me a baby and said I was overreacting so all I really did was leave it in an ice bath for a day and then wrap it in gauze for a while after. It hurt like fucking bitch.

sliced about 1/8" off the tip of my middle finger dicing an onion while a little bit tipsy/distracted. it bled like crazy but i didn't go to the hospital. the skin was still slightly attached, so i just wrapped it up with some gauze. the skin flap got hard and fell off after about a week and the skin regrew, so no permanent deformity.

I was frying some ham, and the pan started to slide of the stovetop. Out of stupid reflex I pushed the pan back with my left hand. It got burned pretty bad, and it was a possibility that I was going to have restricted hand movement, as some of the burns were right at the joints of my fingers.

One of the worst was probably when I was slicing cabbages and I sliced a little bit off the tip of my finger, blood splattered all over the kitchen.

Another was when I was really young, about 6, or 7 years old and I wanted to make fries, so I heated up a bunch of shortening in a huge cast iron frying pan. I got it too hot and then dropped the potatoes that I just cut into it. Hot grease flew all over the kitchen and me, got some in my eye, and all over my hands and face. I screamed and ran away and my mom came in and was like, "Whut?"

More recently I dropped some oil from my workplace on my foot.

It stayed red for a few days, then blistered, then after about two weeks I shed a really thick amount of skin.

The water wasn't even completely boiling at the time. I should have listened more when people say to be cautios with hot water, I did'nt know how wrong it could go. Hands down the worst pain of my life.

You can't just fucking dip your hand in hot oil. I was cleaning the fryers at Popeye's one night, they'd been off for about half an hour so they'd cooled a bit, and a glob of it splashed up and onto my hand. Hurt like a mother fucker. Been about six years since it happened and, looking at it now, the scar is almost completely gone, but you sure as Hell ain't sticking your hand in hot oil and coming off with "a little redness." Anyone who has been burned by oil knows that's pure fuckin' bullshit.
