When you cook, do you hurt yourself?

I sometimes get cut unintentionally, it is unavoidable sometimes
because that we got burned from oil when frying.

I have been know to leave the kitchen with cuts, burns, and maybe a few bruises from time to time. I believe that my worst experience was similiar to your mother's. I was taking some hot cereal out of the microwave, when it spilled on the top of my naked foot. I was in a whole lot of pain. It left a grey looking bubble on my foot for a few days. Finally, I got the okay to stick it and drain it. I never want to experience anything like that again.

I have been known to splash Hot oil on me, or Hot water when cooking or burning myself when pulling something from the oven as well. I have also burned my tongue a time or two when trying something that was still too warm so it can make it upsetting for sure.

I have a scar in my left armpit that looks like it was burned or blistered a long time ago. My Mom told me that I pulled over a pot of hot wax that she was using for some home canning. I have managed to slice my left thumb while cutting things up, but it was so slight that it didn't even bleed. I was lucky.

I'm quite sure most of us will not get much out of this comment, but here goes. You can find Kevlar gloves for cutting food in any good cook store. These make it much less likely to cut yourself. You are all welcome.

no.. not all the time. of course i take care of my self and my hand's safety whnever i cook. i always am on guard ans especially on cooking with amounts of oil as i do not want to get myself burned.

Every once and awhile.Burns, nicks. Nothing ever really serious. I hurt myself more gardening, fighting, than I do cooking.

occasionally, yes. It comes with the territory LOL
Mostly I cut myself because I am not paying attention to what I do or I go too fast.
I have burned myself in hot oil but it is rare. What happens more often, however, is the silly dipping my fingers in the boiling water when dropping something in it, and again just because I am not paying attention.
I never let go until I am really close to the water because that prevents splashing, but sometimes I go too far LOL

I am sorry to hear that. I seldom get hurt when I am cooking. Perhaps this trick can be helpful. I usually cut the ingredients with gloves, so that I won't cut my fingers in a mistake.

I love China

I'm the one who cook at our house and yes i do hurt myself but not that much and I got used to it.
