What's the worst kitchen accident you've experienced?
Pic related; I got careless and slice off a part of my fingertip and I had to seal the open patch using super glue.
If this is gore, I'm sorry

[Anonymous No.9048534]

I'm generally fairly careful so nothing too bad, worst ever thus far was when I worked at a pizza junt, I was slicing the peppers and I cut my finger the deepest I ever did, I do not react loudly even to pain, my first instinct is always to "tighten up" my systems so to speak

My coworkers always hated and feared me, as I calmly went to wash my wound I heard them mutter "he didn't even react...."

I got a really sharp knife for the first time (Tojiro DP 240mm gyuto) and pretended to be a professional and tried to chop up an onion at speed. I made an incorrect claw and sliced off about a third of the nail of my left ring finger, sliced through the nail bed and took off a bit of flesh from my finger tip, too. It hurt like a motherfucker.

In college I used to stumble home from parties/bars blacked out and cook myself amazing and very complicated meals (which were always fucking awesome to wake up to, the best was when I made like 10 servings of pad thai) but once I very drunkenly poured hot bacon grease onto my fingers and melted the skin off one of them between two joints.
When it eventually healed the skin had a weird dent in it where it was oddly attached to the muscle below, but after several years that went away and there isn't even a scar now.. I can't even remember which finger it was anymore.

... now i really want pad thai...

Had a big splotch of hot grease fall on my arm while I was hammered/stoned.
I seared a steak on high heat, but the skillet got so hot it started smoking like crazy. After I pulled off the steak, I started shaking it up and down to dissipate the smoke, but a drop of grease came off the pan onto my arm that left a giant circular scab/scar about the size of a quarter and another that was a smaller. The big scar is barely visible now though.

Unpacked a blender once. Blades took off skin from my thumb on its 1st joint right to the bone. It didn't come of completely, hung by a piece so I treated it, bandaged it up and it actually somehow didn't rot, dry out or fall off. Kinda regretting not snipping it off and going to get stitches, because it left a wart-like scar and that part doesn't feel anything now.

I've never experienced anything too bad. My worst experiences were probably when I was working at Popeye's for a year. Slipped on the floor and banged up my knee and wrists some. Wasn't so bad, but I do fear I left long-term damage. The second experience actually hurt at the time. I was cleaning the fryers and an oil bubble popped, splashing still-hot oil on the back of my right hand. Oh, I've never cussed that much before.

friend sliced his entire nail from one of his fingers. the finger itself was intact except for a missing fingernail and the blood. im not sure where the pics are but hed get mad at me for posting them anyway. his free healthcare made him wait in line while his blood drained away. this nigger is the most anally retentive person i know when it comes to knife safety, but he also has mental problems and was probably hallucinating when he brought the blade down. the nail surprisingly grew back and is only kind of fucked up.

It actually might be worth it to not be a giant fucking pussy, wrap up the appendage, and move the fuck on.

If you are at work (ie. have access to a walk-in cooler), you either have prep to do or meals to make. Who the fuck has 15 minutes to sit in a walk-in because they cut their finger? That's also kind of dickish to the other cooks who have to pick up the extra weight because you dropped everything for a cut. You might also be the laughing stock of your co-workers and lose the respect of your bosses if you do this.

Seriously, go over to first aid, wrap it up, and keep fucking moving.

Before you get kicked out of the kitchen because you're bleeding all over the place, and before you get to fill out an accident report, it helps.

Just because you would act like a six-year-old girl when you slice a finger doesn't mean everybody else would. Also, there's this really cool lifehack where you make a "cup" shape with your hand to catch dropping blood. I know, it's completely unheard of to you that some people actually take initiative in little situations like these, but they do. Next time you're on the line and one of your co-workers slices a finger, take notes. Note how they won't make a dramatic ensemble of it like you would.

Seriously, accident reports are a boss's worst nightmare and if you insist on filling one out for one of the most common injuries in a kitchen, you will have placed yourself in his crosshairs come the next lay-off.

Bitch I run two kitchens. Not sure what your problem is but yes I would insist that every injury is documented. "SUCK IT UP" is cool for burns and small cuts but if you chop the top if a finger off it's getting documented.

Second most painful was when I was working at kfc and I was using the scraper to get some shit off of the sidewalls of the fryer and my hand slipped and I accidentally plunged my index finger in to the oil, fucking hurt like a bitch and was red the rest of the night, I had to work the rest of that night cause the managers were absolute cunts, a few days later the skin had blistered up and I had to go to air force cadets (essentially a cooler version of scouts) and while it was coke break all the skin on my finger decided to just fall off completely, I calmly went up to one of the officers and showed them, they shat themselves and took me to the sick bay and got some shit so I could bandage my finger up

I witnessed a coworker slice off the tip of his finger because apparently he hadn't used a truly sharp knife before, and I heard a story that I don't really believe (although it is possible for a complete retard) about someone getting their arm caught up in an 80 quart Hobart with the dough hook attached.

Accidentally left a pan in the oven while it was heating. Used a towel to take it out, then forgot it was hot and grabbed it. It was too hot for me to feel it right away I guess, because I held it for a bit before feeling the heat. Immediately threw it onto the stovetop and ran my hand under cold water. Started sweating and shaking a bit. Probably like 40% of my hand was a blister. Was still able to use my hand a little bit the next day and it healed fine with no problems.

Burn the underside of both of my wrists while cleaning a flat top with oil. The handle broke on the two hand scraper and sent my wrists directly into 500+ F oil laden with burnt on carbon.

My wife was cutting the fat off some beef and somehow the grip managed to 'pop' out of her hand go flying to the floor where our dog was lying. The dog was well aware that when something hit the floor, it was probably food, and dashed straight for it before it even hit the ground. I guess he smelled the meat on the knife so didn't hesitate to snatch it up in his mouth - blade first. These were wusthof knives, so they weren't a laughing matter. It was a $600 vet bill, but the dog was fine (he was a giant breed and could take a licking). Still, the amount of blood ... ugh. Some things you just never forget. My wife was hysterical. Now, she kicks the dogs out of the kitchen when she's cooking and tosses them pre-approved scraps from beyond the door/baby gate.

It doesn't look too bad (pic is after I took of the bandages once it stopped bleeding), and isn't compared to a lot of this thread.

I nick, stab, burn, jam, whatever... some part of my body almost daily, but this is the worst I've had since I've owned a phone and could take pictures of shit.

Was the very end of the night and I spaced off while cleaning my filet knife with a side towel, and just ran my finger down the entire length of the blade (and I keep my knives pretty sharp). The cut goes just as far down the side of the finger you can't see, and I hit the bone.

It really wasn't that bad, but I had to spend around an extra 45 minutes mopping up the blood and sanitizing everything I'd already cleaned, because that shit wouldn't stop gushing.

Worst I've probably ever had was absent-mindedly immersing a hand into a deep fryer past the wrist.

When I was in high school, we had a gingerbread house contest in culinary. When I was going to grab the gingerbread from the oven, my friend said "Don't burn yourself." Then, I was distracted, and ended up hitting my arm on the inside of a ~450 degree oven. Didn't hurt, strangely enough.

In the UK thats a steak knife.
American steak knives are illegal there, they're classified as tactical assault weapons

Medical procedure was still less than smashed avo on toast though. Do you think that poor teenage girl got her avocado toast in the end? I like to believe she didnt.

Does that mean that the line cooks are going to be on the front lines when the revolution comes?

The things they go on are upright and if you put them in the wrong way the grills fall out when you take the tower out of the oven because there's a ramp for some retarded reason.

Oil burns and salamander singes all over my forearms over the years. Good times.

3rd degree burn, lad

I work 80 hours a week as a pizza cook

I burn my arms every single day

I used to work in the back and would often hand-load stuff into the fryer. Fryer only burnt me badly once, I think when I used tongs to pry apart stuck-together wings while they were in the oil and it splashed. That oven has always had it out for me though especially when it's busy and I have to tend a pie in the back of it.

About 10 years ago I worked in a grocery store meat department and I remember thinking "this is a bad idea" as I cut towards myself, and then I gashed the shit out of the fatty part under my pinky. Washed up and went and chilled in the walk-in until it stopped bleeding. Bosses came in and were like "why is the water still running?" Oh, oops, no reason.

oh yeah and for that last bit, I was literally just cutting some fat off of a piece of scrap meat to be thrown into the grinder, some shit that really didn't matter in the first place and anyone else would've just thrown it in without trimming

just one of those times I get punished for doing something when I obviously know better
