When you cook, do you hurt yourself?

It has happened that I burned myself, when I cooked. It has happened more than once. But it doesn't always happened. As a matter of fact, it hasn't happened for a while now.

I often cut myself with the knife my husband keeps sharp! I often burn my hand or finger when I'm taking something out of the oven, or checking to see if a cake if finished cooking. I have popped grease out on my arms. I have accidentally picked up a hot skillet with a hand that didn't have a hot pad in it!! I guess we all do silly things at one time or another.

You made me wince with pain! Just thinking of that hot sugar syrup spilling into your Mom's shoe...ouch!

When I was about 10-years old I got a lollipop factory for Christmas. I remember how thrilled I was to get this gift. That was until I burned my fingers to bad from the melted hot sugar. I only remember using the lollipop factory once. Then it disappeared!

Hi,my friend.Just take care when you are cooking.I also met similar things.Usually it's the splashed hot oil on my arm and sometimes even on my face.Maybe the oil is too hot and the vegetables contain water,then it's easy to splash oil out.So just be careful when we are cooking.Or our skin will be hurt by hot oil or other hot splashed things

Many times I have cut myself as well but the worst kitchen accident I had was about six months ago or so. I was carrying a large pot of pasta from the stove to the sink to drain it and just as I got to the sink my left elbow ( the one I had dislocated last April ) gave out on me and I poured a lot of the boiling water on my stomach. I let out a blood curdling scretch out of me as I stood there holding my T Shirt away from my skin. Like I said that was at least six months ago and you can still see where I was burnt. The very worst story I have ever heard of was two young girls years and years ago were cooking pork hocks in a pressure cooker. They had taken it off the stove but the pressure had not all realeased yet and here they were pulling and tugging at the lid to undo it when finally the seal was broken away from the rubber ring and the lid went flying, they got burnt real bad and I was told there was pork hocks on the wall and the ceiling as well. Guess those things are dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

I probably would, if I ever went into the kitchen. LOL I hate cooking, but my husband loves it, therefore he does all the cooking. I have had to train him not to hold the vegetables up in the air when he cuts them. I didn't spend all that money on a cutting bord so he could hold the vegetables in the air and cut himself.

i often injure myself while cooking. Just like you i accidentally get cuts and burns. i often have blisters due to the splashes of hot cooking oil while frying fish or meats or even from touching my hands or arms to hot pots or pans.

Yup, been there, done that. Like accidentally spilling scalding hot water on myself, or picking something out of the oven and realizing the potholder isn't thick enough and burn myself. The winner of all time was one time I was separating frozen hamburgers with a knife...um...think you can guess what happened..the knife somehow slipped and plunged right into the palm of my hand....oh and lets not forget the time I dropped a can of soup on my big toe and it immediately turned black. Fun stuff,no?

I mostly cut myself when I cook, but grease popping have given me some minor burns as well.

Oh GG, I remember a time when I was in school and I had gotten up one morning as I always did and started cooking my breakfast which consisted of bacon, eggs and toast. I had finished cooking the bacon and was cooking eggs and all of the sudden a loud pop and grease had landed on my shirt and stomach and I screamed blue blazes and of course a slew of cuss words!! Then I realized I was at home! I'm underage and my parents are just down the hall asleep!! Although the eggs were cooking, I was watching like a hawk for one of my parents to come trotting down the hallway ready to tear into me! I was scared out of my mind! But they didn't wake up! I went to school and when I came home, I walked on egg shells for a few hours til I couldn't take it anymore and asked them if they heard anything that morning and mom asked what I meant and I told her oh I dropped my books on the floor and wondered if you heard anything and she said no. WHEW!! I breathed a sigh of relief! LOL Since then, I've burnt myself just as painful but not in the stomach but other places.
