Accidents in the kitchen

I’ve cut myself more than a few times. Even accidentally took off some skin with a peeler.

The usual …few cuts , few burns ….the worst accident I had in the kitchen was last year when I had my fall and broke my arm.

That sounds terrifying! I’ve never microwaved an egg in the shell, and I definitely won’t now..I’ve had my fair share of kitchen mishaps too, mostly small cuts and the occasional burn.

Vince boiled an egg for our son but it needed a tiny mit more cooking so he put it in the microwave. About a minute after he'd put it in front of our son, it exploded but luckily not really in his face. We didn't realise the inner membrane round the yolk had to be pierced too.

I think I remember you sharing this story (okay yes it just happened in conversation today!). If that is a personal photo then that looks very painful...well does either way but still. I caught ramen on fire when I was younger lol, don't know how and I will still blame it on my younger cousin!

Wow, that's absolutely terrifying! My mishaps are definitely less life-threatening, thankfully.

The odd burn and cutting myself. Nothing major.

I no longer have mishaps because I do very little just thorw food together or heat up. But the worst thing I always hated was cutting my fingers and the worst was slicing through a finger with a moving food processor blade, I peice of meat had gotten stuck I should have unplugged but survived,

@ineeddentures My kitchen grief has all been of a culinary nature. I was so scundered with what I made last night that I binned it and ordered an Indian.

I had a minor one recently when I dropped my nice beef stew lunch taking it out of the microwave. It was buring hot, slipped through my fingers, landed on the floor and I had to keep the dog from trying to gobble it up and burn her mouth. The only other serious kitchen accident I can remember was cutting up a fresh head of cauliflower, knife slipped and took off a big chunk of my thumb. Had to go to the ER, stitches and a huge bandage on my hand. I still have the scar all these years later. That exploding egg certainly sounds like a horrible accident. Guess your friend is not only lucky to be alive but I'm sure the recovery was painful.

Motly just burns involving the oven. I do not own a microwave.

I'm sure I cut a finger and I had a fairly bad burn. I still have a scar.
