Have you ever stuck yourself with a fork or knife while cooking?

Have you ever accidentally stuck your hand with a fork
or knife while chopping or cooking?
Tonight, I was making baked potatoes in the microwave.
So I got out a fork and was piercing the potato skin and
almost skewered my hand, instead!
I was so lucky, when the fork slipped it missed my hand.
But I've been careless with a knife in the kitchen and gotten
distracted while chopping fruit and sliced myself instead.
That really hurt!

Ok, I have to admit, I have stuck myself with a fork while piercing potatoes. Cutting vegetables, always! I have to make sure to have sharp knives so I get a good clean cut!

I've heard there's less chance of slipping with a sharp knife
because you don't have to bear down so hard.
Maybe it's a good thing to keep them sharper!

Yes, I have done that enough times. Cutting something and by mistake nick myself; worst than a paper cut. And for some reason or another it takes a while for them to heal too. So I know what that is like. Even when you try to be careful it still can happen. Then don't let something distract you; a finger could be lost. Have a nice one.

Yep several times, nothing really serious but it did
hurt, just small nicks. but one time I steamburned'
my hand when taking a baked potato's wrap;ping off from
the microwave.that was really really scream time hop up
and down hurting time. I ran cold water over the burn
and I did avoid a blister that way. but it was ouch time
for sure.
