had a door of a bigass industrial oven hit me in the arm, and got a 2nd degree burn from the back of my hand up to my elbow
they bounce back at you because they're attached to some kind of internal mechanism, so if you don't catch it with your foot or keep hold of it until it stops you have a 400+ degree slab of metal coming at you
one of the guys who worked there for a while told me someone caught one in the face, which sounds like a goddamn nightmare

There's such a good reason that there are 'hot' rags and 'sanny' rags. Grabbing a 400 degree pan with the least bit of moisture on your cloth immediately vaporises; you're getting fired if you drop that pan tho

Their lack of care for their employees is exactly why you should have quit and filed a workman's comp application. You/the original poster would have gotten a sick amount of money and the manager fired.

Instead he cucked himself into doing what they wanted meanwhile doing immoral stuff (contaminating food) because he was such a fucking pussy.

Was training a new cook, executive chefs son or friend of family, not entirely sure of his relation to the restaurant. Was standing behind me at the pass and asked me to check his plate. I literally turned into an 8 inch chef knife that cut a nerve and an artery in my arm. He didn't think to set the knife down and was holding it blade out by his side.

Never knew blood really squirted that far, it was like anime level blood flow.

Working at a country club our very small female sous chef asked me to drain a large pot of boiling water. I slipped and the pot fell into my arms, instead of letting it go i proceeded to drain it. Felt horrible while we went through the lunch rush but honestly by dinner I hardly felt it.

I've had small burns and minor cuts all over my hands and wrists but those 2 were by far the worst.

Oil burns hurt but tend to be more annoying than anything. The longevity of these burns drive me crazy, had a basket splash oil up my left hand. The initial pain was minor but the burn blisters seem to last forever.

People who don't fold the lids of tin cans back into the can are the worst. Pushed a trash bag down and felt the half open lid slide nearly to the bone of my thumb. Again it didn't really hurt but the blood flow was pretty amazing, I don't compress trash cans anymore.

Most important lesson I ever learned; never give expo more attention that the food you're slicing. Slicing chicken for pasta dish, suddenly, "hey anon how far out on <insert pasta>?" Looked up and let me tell you, losing the tip of a finger REALLY slows down an order

Of course I've been doing it almost 20 years and these are just the ones that stand out to me.
