    working banquets years ago at a casino that will not be named, we were dealing with a very busy weekend and cooking a crazy amount of food. Long story short, someone left the triple decker steamer oven on over the weekend and the plastic wrap on the pan blocked the drain inside the steamer so over the weekend the steamer filled with boiling water. I happened to be the lucky soul who opened the steamer the next day and recieved a waterfall of boiling water cascading down upon my thighs, legs and feet. instant 3rd degree burns missing my good parts by about an inch. Took almost 4 months of recovery. These mandolin cut stories are pg compared to my horror story lmao.

      Just responded to a mandolin injury a few days ago, cook cut 1/4 of his thumb off through his fingernail. They're sharp and good for what they do but they deserve a healthy level of respect. Wear that chainmail glove, use that safety guard holder or just leave a little of whatever you're cutting so your hand doesn't get close enough for injury. Or just take it slow.

    My favorite kitchen injury didn’t happen to me but to my male cousins (they’re brothers). One of them went to the ER with a knife through their hand. I believe their story was that they were doing that knife hand game thing, where you go really fast between the fingers until you mess up. They were 28 & 30 years old respectively at the time. 😂

    I feel these, I’ve worked in a kitchen for 7 years now and my worst was when a manager left a flame barely on in front of a pot handle so it wasn’t visible. I remember the first thing that went through my head after I grabbed it was “why is this handle liquid?” Then realized it was my hand that was liquid. Lost feeling in my thumb for 4 months, but finished the other 6 hours of my shift after wrapping it up.

    My injury was getting a finger caught in a hydraulic dough door on a 5000 oz mixing unit.
    Quick trip to the ER, wait 4 hours for surgery. Get 2 pins and 20 stitches to rebuild my index finger because there wasn't a piece of bone in it larger than a shattered tooth pick.

    So many grease and frier oil burns... as a teenager I worked at a family owned restaurant in Michigan that did a lot of hand breadingrather than buying prebreaded frozen stuff. And I always got put on frier duty. Normally it wasn't too bad - onion chips and zucchini chips and countless baskets of fries. But during the season, they would have Friday night smelt fry specials.

    I definitely get embarrassed when I cut myself or burn myself.. I had a horrible burn for the heat lamp and then cut my finger with a mandolin too, it took ages to stop bleeding too. I have special gloves for that now. They're amazing, it's impossible to cut yourself.

    my dad worked at a restaurant in highschool and one time he slipped and stuck his whole arm in a 500 degree deep fryer and immediately when he pulled it out he shoved his whole arm into a massive jar of pickles. it didn't even blister, it was just red.

    A few years ago, I was cooking some spaghetti. Wanted to add some dried oregano to the sauce, but this weird jar had like a mill on it that wasn't letting any of it out. So normally I pop the top off with a screwdriver. I didn't have a screwdriver though. What I did have was a bread knife. It was one of those situations where you know 'this isn't gonna end well' and then you do it anyway. I sliced straight through the inside of my thumb, clean to the bone. And what freaked me out most, it didn't hurt one bit and it first, it didn't bleed. Then I stretched my thumb and blood started pouring out of my thumb in waves in sync with my heartbeat and within seconds my kitchen looked like there had been a murder. So my natural first reaction was that of any other sane person: 'Try not to get any blood in the spaghetti'. I didn't wanna go to the doctor, so I kinda taped my folded up thumb to the inside of my left palm and kept it there for a week. It healed, but I still can't fully stretch my thumb. Had some good spaghetti that night though. Felt like I earned it more than usually.

    The worst I had as a bartender was a deep finger cut as I was chopping limes, while bartending a 60 person backyard wedding. It was only me and my wife bartending (she was not a bartender, she was just opening beers for people) so I one handed poured drinks while I iced it to stop the bleeding, poured some egregiously high proof liquor on it and asked the homeowner for some super glue and a bandaid. Slapped on a finger jimmy and hit the weeds.

    I was blitzing through veggies with my mandoline and not using the finger guard like a monkey and next thing I knew I fell over and nearly blacked out before noticing the last inch of the top of my index missing including the nail. Took weeks to heal and Everytime I replaced the bandage it opened back up. Was hands down the worst kitchen experience I've ever had! Please please please be careful with your finger guillotines guys, I thought I was going to bleed out!

    Put your finger bit back on after you sliced it off with the mandolin (or any other cut where you lose a piece of skin) and it will stop the bleeding and heal back quicker!!!!!!!!!!!!
