When you cook, do you hurt yourself? email this discussion to a friend?

In my time I have injured myself more than once. I have cut myself, and I have burned myself. Last weekend I was making caramel sauce, and I splashed some hot sugar syrup up on my cuticle of my right thumb. Luckily it was calloused, so although the blister looked bad, it has been relatively painless. I remember my mom talking about spilling sugar syrup into her shoes as a child. I cannot imagine the pain.

Sometimes we're hurt while preparing our food, when we're in a hurry. We might be thinking of other things to do however, when we get hurt, it serves as our lesson so the next time we do it, we take extra care. Anyway we have to experience little pains but maybe after the repeated times of cooking we found it smoothly and completely done with no more little cuts or bruises. The worst is the spilling of boiling water or cooking oil, so we really take extra care in everything we do.

We can always hope we learn our lessons, and take our time when we cook.

I hurt myself in the kitchen all the time. I burn myself. I cut myself. I have learned to never make candy barefoot. I dropped hot toffee on my foot once. Right on the top of it. Man that hurt.

I think you are feeling my pain lilybug. Yours would have been more painful, cause that flesh on top of the foot is very tender.

I burn myself so often I don't really blister much at all anymore. It just got nice and red for a few days.

Yes I have had the usual injuries while cooking, burns, cuts tings like that. I have been lucky and none of them have been too bad. Just real ouchy. You gotta be careful in the kitchen, I try to be but sometimes accidents happen.


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20387)   ranked 2 out of 11,233 in cooking  9 months ago

Yes, real ouchy is the word for it. My worst injury probably did not really involve cooking, but rather opening a can of cat food. Cut my thumb, passed out from blood loss and got taken to the ER.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Polly1 (8477)   ranked 344 out of 11,233 in cooking  9 months ago

That is a real ouchy.

Hi,spilling of any hot liquid on the skin can be a very painful experience. I have had some real bad experiences where once hot oil spilt on my foot.i also scald myself often. Burns and cuts are an everyday affair, nothing serious but a little cut on the finger or thumb and one really doesnt bother much about it..


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20387)   ranked 2 out of 11,233 in cooking  9 months ago

Hi, I agree, most times the injuries are small and not serious. I think I hate this type of burn because the syrup stays hot and burns deeper than just touching something and jerking away.

You should stop making syrups and sauces and make something else! lol Its funny but cute:) But I have burned myself on grease, and stuff that gets splattered. It happens to everyone at least once.


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20387)   ranked 2 out of 11,233 in cooking  9 months ago

I have had a few burns, but not too many for as old as I am, so I am lucky.
