Never cut myself on them myself but the only piece of equipment that is more dangerous than those fuckers is the Mandolin Slicer you mentioned (which I have cut myself on several times).

Talking about those push-through tomato slicers? Yeah, made of razors is right. I was cleaning one and gave myself several parallel, deep loving cuts. oddly though, I've never cut myself on a mandolin. And I used to slice tons of radishes with them. Maybe it's my tiny hands.

Me: Hey I just saw a rat. Closing FoH: OMG I can't stand mice. Me: Oh that wasn't a mouse that was a big fuckin' rat.  Closing FoH:  The kitchen and surrounding areas are all kept well-cleaned but this is an old building full of all kinds of holes. Last golf course I worked at had them as well but they kept to the pro shop basement where the golf carts were stored/charged.

Mandolins, chef knives, any object made to cut? Never had a problem. Edges of 1/3 pans ,1/2 pans? Blood and cuts every where.

Two of the worst cuts I've ever had were both weird poo poo. One was from ice - our ice scoop at that place was one of the kind that doesn't have the finger shield, and on that particular day whatever temperature magic happened and the ice was sharp and shredded my fingers and the back of my hand. The other was the same place, but before we even opened - I was spending a day unpacking, cleaning, and setting up equipment. I pulled the drawer out of an alto-shaam holder to take the plastic off and caught an edge, it cut two of my fingers drat near to the bone. loving awful.

I was just about to post how the other day I nicked a finger tip on a shrimp (frozen, the tail stabbed me just right), but that beats my dumb injury.Edit: we also do our own dish, and I think we've all gotten a steel wool splinter at some point. Those suck, your hands are all wet and slippery, so good luck pulling it out. JacquelineDempsey fucked around with this message at 17:45 on May 19, 2021 |

Coconut based vegan ice cream freezes very, very hard. If you’re bearing down on the scoop too hard it can slip, resulting in slamming your knuckles into the track you did manage to scoop out, which is still very hard and now has edges. That’s how I cut myself on ice cream.

I once got a splinter under my nail from caramelized chili sugar disks were experimenting on for desert. The intent was to set melted sugar/chili liquid into disks we would decorate cakes/desert with. Didn't know how hard it would be after the first round of sets and I tried to pick up one of them from the tray picking at a spike one of them had made. It burned and hurt like hell for a few days.

Raikiri posted:I cut myself on a sourdough baguette the other day. I've done that. Unused baguette, went to wrap it, happened to run my thumb over that slightly crusty ridge and it drew blood over the plastic wrap while smoothing the wrap to seal. Drew blood, disinfect, bandaid, the whole nine yards.

Lol, I was slicing it on a bias and jammed my finger into the point. It wasn't much but I've literally not cut myself with a knife since I went back at the start of April.

I cant think of a funny way to describe it but someone had pulled a banana off the bunch and there was a strip of some of the vegetable matter at the top that dried out and somehow became razor sharp, and I expected to just be able to reach past it to grab the apples behind, and it looked like I had loving stigmata instead

One of the ladies at work is super gung ho on a getting an industrial meat slicer and I just think back to my first ever job at 14 as a dishwasher, and peacefully going about spraying dishes while the prep guy behind me cut off a sizable portion of his hand on one. He was apparently fine but never returned. But, no, go ahead, get that meat slicer that you want to have to... reslice bread more easily. I'm sure it will be fine. She only wants it because we do ham a lot and even the boneless ham chunks we get on discount are too much to slice by hand. At least get a cut-resistant glove.

I'm picturing bread going thru and just showering the kitchen with breadcrumbs and torn hunks of bread.So many mysteries today!

I've injured myself more on the plastic ribbon poo poo than on anything we have in the actual kitchen. This poo poo-  Not the tomato slicer, not the cucumber mandolin, not the horrible machine that eats onions and fingers, no its the stupid plastic that shreds me every time I help unpack poo poo.

I used to have to make almond dragees at a place I worked at. Almonds coated in hard crack sugar and then coated in chocolate. When you would put the almonds in the hot sugar mix and pour it out on the table to cool then break them apart into separate pieces the edges would be sharp as glass I started wearing those cheap cotton gloves under the doubled up latex ones after getting the gloves shredded one too many times. Hands still felt like hell even with the extra protection. Juicing lemons after that was always fun

I was imagining a fresh loaf going all over the place, trying to make sandwich slices with it turned up to 15. Oh my no, the bread is already sliced, but it's sliced too thick, so loading slice by slice into a meat slicer to halve the slice is the optimum use of technology! The bread did get halved with a knife in the end. But I can still feel the pent-up lust for a meat slicer.
