Really don't have many aside from a couple of small cuts on fingers. The most noteworthy one was cleaning metal tongs and the lock got jamped beneath bottom screw and trying to wrench it past I somehow managed to jam the teeth of the tongues into my thumb. Really large and messy cut from a pretty blunt edge. Stung like hell.

I steamed my first finger the other day pouring out a large pot of water for pasta into a strainer I was also holding. Felt like I accidentally poured water onto my hand but it was the steam coming up. Managed to hold on to pot and strainer. Thought I got by without blistering but there wa minor blistering the next day. But the pain wouldn’t subside and kept me awake when I tried to go to bed. Indirect ice helped but wasn’t a good solution for bed. So I rubbed honey on it and put on a disposable glove. That worked.

I spent a few months cooking for a restaurant. Managed to cut myself with :
Veggie peelers
Can lids
At least 5 different knives
A cardboard file holder

Got some burn marks too, mainly from oven grease that dripped from the oven's resistance. Small 3rd degree burns because it sticks to your skin.

I was a prep cook in a scratch kitchen for a couple years, so various missing finger tips/ nails knuckles Rex. Nothing crazy. Worst part is throwing away a cutting board full of 20 minutes of work because you cut a tip of a fingernail and alittle bit of your finger tip off. Any blood or pieces come off and the whole mess goes in the trash. Worst was cooking at home drunk. Knives are all super sharp. Layed my finger open when an onion rolled over once. That was pretty shitty. Worst was actually saunteeing chicken for stir fry. Super hot, lots of oil. I stepped back in a bit of a stumble when I was flipping shit in the front of the pan, sautéed style with no tools. I was shirtless and a tablespoon or so of smoking oil landed on my stmach and settled along the elastic of my boxers. Had a scar for a long time but after a few years it went away.

Dude, I just got small cut on my left ring finger. It wasnt bad, but it is bleeding quite a bit. It is even more annoying because I am a guitar player and i cant play well with a band aid there.

I cut through my fingernail and a lot of my finger while cutting bacon last year. The pic is hella blurry but it extends from black arrow to black arrow.

I was pretty scared it was gonna kill the nail and it wouldn't grow back. Turned out the nail didn't even fall off like everyone said it would. I had to deal with catching that shit on EVERYTHING for like 5 months until it grew out to the point where I could just bite it off.

Oh and I also witnessed a pretty bad accident.

We make pulled pork by smoking the butts for 8 hours and slow cooking it in mop sauce for another 8. So after they're done they're in deep hotels pans full of boiling grease and mop sauce. We put them in our walk in on racks, the bottom rungs only because it's safe. Well i was teaching a new guy how to do it, and I had cleared the necessary space on the rack before hand. I told him to put them in the walk in. I check on him a minute later and he moved everything else down and was putting the boiling hotel pans on the top rung. Like 7 feet in the air.

I go "Whoa, dude we put them on the bottom rung because it's safest." And he goes "now you tell me." and HE FUCKING TAKES THEM DOWN. I go "NO" as he picks one up and pours boiling grease all over his forearm and stomach.

He gritted his teeth and took it well. So well that we actually thought he was ok. Looked at the burns and it was a little red. Didn't seem that bad. Asked if he needed me to finish his shift, he declined. Next day he goes to the hospital, and shows up for work covered in bandages. He blamed me for months. The retard.

I managed to take part of my nail off while chopping a carrot. Saved my finger, but took off about half the nail and a bunch of skin right under the nail. I had fingers set as a guide for the knife, but apparently my middle finger on my left hand was out just slightly. Cut straight down long the nail and took most of it clean off.

Other than that nothing big to report. Small grease burns and a burnt finger or two.

Now, I did manage to cut my foot open and bleed all over my dad's kitchen floor, but I wasn't cooking at the time. I had the flu and vomited on the floor and slipped on it, hitting my foot against the bottom of the cupboard and it ripped my foot open. That was a fun night.

Not cooking, but I was once brewing leaf tea in a metal teapot me and my parents bought at an Istanbul market when I was 11. The handle felt funny, so a short time earlier, we gave it to my uncle to repair it, but instead of welding it, he just used some hot glue. The glue was supposed to be temperature resistant, but it wasn't. When I was raising it, the handle stayed in my hand, while the rest of the pot fell down, spilling hot tea all over my arm. My father called me a pussy until I showed him the blisters next day.

His line of thought was that it wasn't boiling hot (true, it stood for like 3 minutes), so it was just a minor burn. But in reality, there was a lot of this water on a relatively small area and it was a moment until I cooled it down with water, so I guess it was a penetrating burn.

I remember when I was young my dad had a big pan of hot oil heating up to make something and I put random stuff in it to see how it tasted, then I put a collard green leaf in it and because leaves are filled with water the oil exploded at me and the whole side of my little preteen hand was pink and swollen from a painful burn.

Probably when I cut off the tip of my finger. I didn't even notice anything when it happened till my veggies were covered in blood.

exactly the same thing happened when I tried to "speed chop" with my new Tojiro DP 2400 for the first time. Worst cut I have ever had. I think it wouldn't have happened with my other knives, but the Tojiro was sharpened at a much lower angle, so it dug into the nail and my finger instead of "glancing off".
