When making George's steak, don't forget that the pan has been in a 500F oven and grab the handle.

No. Really. Don't.

Cooking burns are the worst. Hope nothing too serious happened!

I'll live. I think I got cold water on it quickly enough that it won't be too horrible. But I full on grabbed the handle, and heard the sizzle of cooking skin before I felt the pain. I'm burned across all four fingers, the base of my thumb, and a line across my palm.

Yeah, that's gonna blister up right nice I'd imagine. I've done similar stuff plenty of times myself; it doesn't look so bad at first, then gets ugly as sin when it heals, and then the scar goes away rather quickly. Burns are funny like that.

It's my own stupidity. I've definitely had worse burns in the past.

I had one incident in highschool when I worked at Burger King (shudder). The lid to the fryer slipped out of my hand and fell into the hot grease, which then splashed onto my thighs. Of course, those lovely uniforms are polyester. I immediately (yes, in the kitchen area of the restaurant) pulled my pants down. I never lived it down, but it did keep the polyester from melting into my skin. No scars, luckily!

Well since we're comparing food service mishaps, you know those 55-gallon barrels you store the old, used up grease in? The ones behind the trash bin? Yep. Slipped and fell in one. It was mostly full at the time.

My first job ever, was washing dishes for a Mexican restaurant, in my town. When the dumpster behind the restaurant started to get too full, we'd throw in some big, flattened cardboard boxes and then jump on top of them and do the "Dumpster Dance" to squash things down a bit more.

One night, it was my turn. After a mere couple of seconds, my feet punched through the cardboard and I began drowning in rotting Mexican food. If two of the cooks hadn't heard me yell on the way down, it's likely I would have drowned. Honestly.

*shudder*

Truly, there cannot be a worse death... :weeping:

Very funny indeed, but you have no idea how ****ing disgusting that is. A half second afterwards I was dry heaving. But I got out, poured ecolab on my legs and finished my shift. I'm a trooper. :lol:

Oh heck yeah man, I've done that! Luckily I never had any bad experiences though, although I'm sure OSHA would have been more than happy to intervene had they seen such a thing. :lol:

Despite our best efforts, some jackass would either overshoot the trash bin or it would just overflow, and the trash would break from the bag and fall into a 2-foot crack between the loading dock and this wood fence. We called this The Pit and it had to be raked every night. Shin-deep in gag-inducing foulness that can't be adequately described in words. Yep, I earned my six bucks an hour.

Me too... Me too...

Worst job ever: I was on staff at a Boy Scout Camp, in the Sierras. Camp Whitsett. (sp?)

Anyway, my job, for $5/week, was to work with two other guys collecting all of the maggot-filled trash from all over the camp, haul it all down the mountain to the barge, load it up, take the barge across the lake to the dump site, dump it, sweep all of the maggots off of the barge, and then drive it back.

We did this daily, all summer long. I made a grand total of $50.

Dude... that sucks. :no: Why just $5/week? Was that even legal wage back then?

My worst was just the dishwashing thing, which I did for two(?) consecutive years. The second year, I got to work at 5pm, 6-7 nights a week, started working immediately, stopping maybe 20 minutes the whole night, and left 'round 3am. My boogers were gummy and clear back then because of the steam and the whatever else that came from the bigass industrial dishwasher. The fun nights were when that sumbitch would clog itself. Then you'd have to drop whatever the hell it was you were doing, jam your hand down at the bottom and pull out the lemon wedge, paper napkin or whatever was obstructing the pipe, because if you didn't you had about 12 seconds before you had a waterfall on your hands. Yeah, that was hot effing water.

To be honest though, I was kind of a work pansy until I started washing dishes. I'm glad I did it.

:lol2: No.. It wasn't legal wage, but you got a cot, free meals, and supposedly, free time to work on merit badges and stuff. Man, I didn't work on sh!t except learning how to smoke, (I was 16), and learning how to screw off and play practical jokes. :lol2:

I have found that getting ice on a burn quickly will significantly reduce the blistering.

Talk about your gag inducing jobs I remember these guys in China who rode around on bicycles with two plastic barrels slung over the rear wheel. They would ride up to refuse bins and empty them into their barrels with a scoop shovel. Just walking by while they are doing it is enough to bring you to your knees. Imagine pedalling that **** all over town.

Well, popping grease tends to be incompatible with "Man UP!"

My girlfriend at the time, thought it uproariously funny, so I guess there was entertainment value to be had, after all. :tongue:
