I burned myself with boiling water while I was cooking tonight. Hurt like a bitch and I felt like a stupid faggot.
Kitchen injury thread I guess.

Hold it over an open flame or heat source until you can't handle the pain. Nerve endings frizzled. Line cook trick.

The cut didn't hurt. But the pain of being a fucking idiot was excruciating.

I work in a a school cafeteria and all of the older ladies feel no pain while carrying trays that were in 350+ heat. While me on the other hand cant even handle the water from the dishwasher

Doc had to cauterize it to stop the bleeding. It's been two weeks and my finger is still black. Though it's scabbed up pretty good, which is nice.

Dude, the worst part was the silver nitrate. Pure, uncut, all over the wound and no local anesthesia. As Doc said, "You're tough enough to cut yourself like this, you're tough enough to take The Sticks."

But I've also had some close calls with the meat slicer, too. Not quite as bad as that, though. Didn't they announce "Stand by for heavy rolls as the ship comes about" or something similar? Because they should have.

I tried to cook drunk and end up pouring hot oil on my hand. It didn't hurt at the beginning.

Then I remembered I own a deep-fryer. I felt retarded.

I've been a neet for years and finally got back into the real world. I took the first job that came my way and I'm washing dishes. This little restaurant just upgraded their machine and that shit is hotter than hell. I can stack it, but if I have to carry it any sort of distance I let it cool for a minute or two.

The dishwater fucks with my hands anyways and I can't wait to start cooking.

[Anonymous No.6078585]

I have a grate pattern on my left bicep where someone hit me with a basket pulled from the deep fryer because they were too busy talking instead of watching what they were doing.

Water does fuck all against capsaicin burns, use oil or milk next time.

Didn't really hurt or bleed much due to adreniline and because I probably hit a nerve.

The swelling from the numbing agent that was injected while I got stitches caused the most discomfort tbh.

Not cooking related, but I once dropped a wooden sword on my big toe. I was barefooted. Fucking hurt

[Anonymous No.6081181]

>>6081128
Mine is also not cooking related, but I was chopping wood without shoes like an asshole and a piece of wood came flying straight at my foot at over 9000 miles and popped off my toe nail. It was while we were camping, only second day in and I hadn't gotten in the river at that point. I was so bummed but then gave no fucks and went in the river as much as I could after that.
