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.

Not regularly of course, but yes, minor accidents have happened to me too. I have cut myself, bruised myself and also while frying, hot oil has splashed on my hands and I have suffered from minor burns too! The worst was when I was quite small and I just wanted to cut a pumpkin lol! After much nagging mom gave in and I thought it was just fun you know, but the skin of the pumpkin is real hard and the knife came if right thru (with me pushing it on) and almost sliced off the cap of my little finger with the pumpkin! Oh my…the blood spurting out really made me faint!


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20295)   ranked 2 out of 11,211 in cooking  9 months ago

Ouch, you poor thing. I have cut the end of my thumb before. Mostly, as you say, we have minor accidents.

Coking is totally an art and has to be handled very carefully without hurting.Recourse hurting will not occur at all but it is only because of our negligence it occurs.
We should be totally concentrated on our work while cooking and shall not get disturbed.
Being careful is always advised.


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20295)   ranked 2 out of 11,211 in cooking  9 months ago

Paying close attention and being careful does help prevent injury.

Not so much injured myself but have done quite a few times, I am more of a messy person, I always wait until I have a nice WHITE top on then I decide to make something that has a sauce and sure as fate I splashes straight from the stove onto my top:) Never fails lol

Wee xx


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20295)   ranked 2 out of 11,211 in cooking  9 months ago

Yes, something about a white top just begs to be stained, especially with spaghetti sauce.

Hot oil is dangerous.

I don't injure myself very often while I cook. I happened very rarely that I cut myself or got burnt. Only ones I put my hand accidentally on the cooker and got more seriously burnt but after 4 or 5 days my hand was again fully operational. It is a matter of being careful and not rushing when you have something hot or sharp in your hands.


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20295)   ranked 2 out of 11,211 in cooking  9 months ago

Not rushing, and paying close attention are two great rules to prevent injury.

yes i do.its part and parcel of the show.we are in a hurry to get things done in time for everybody's time table,so naturally we cut,we burn,we grind our fingers in process.slowly we get used to it.it stops paining after some time.we are supposed to become experts after years of doing the same things everyday,-the knife, the grinding stone, the gas burner,the pressure cooker refuse to accept our expertise.those things express their resentment in their own way-i.e-by blowing steam in to our face,by grinding our fingers,cutting our palms or in so many ways.take it easy.its a thankless job.nobody has time listen to u'r woes.forget it get the dinner ready in time for u'r children's time.

Welcome to MyLot, friend. You sound almost poetic in your descriptions. Yes, having busy active kids makes us rush around a lot.
