Have you ever cut yourself while preparing food?

I am an occassional cook at my home i.e. I cook on holidays, depending on my mood. And getting a cut finger is quite a common phenomenon for me.

Hey,my friend muscare,let me tell you about this some words.. Being a catastrophe in kitchen,i am not doing things automatically because i really need to think what for is this or this...I am impossible...and because this my accidents in kitchen is very rarely...i don't say i can't make food,i do(rolling my eyes)but i am slowly and very careful at all i make... no much accidents... augusta

I cut my finger with scissors trying to cut open a popsicle! lol I'm stupid. One time though, I was cutting cantaloupe and my knife just somehow, went into the side of my hand by an inch, so I had a big mess to clean up with a half a roll of paper towels wrapped around my hand. It hurt so bad!

I don't really cook but I do wash the dishes everyday. I have cut myself before while washing knives and scissors. Once bitten, twice shy. I try to be very happen when I am washing those items now.

Oh I have done it a lot of times. Mostly its a small cut but sometimes i have had really nasty cuts. I remember once when my mom told me to help her with slicing some veggies as soon relatives were coming for a lunch as I had to do it really fast as we were running late and all of a suuden my brother raised the volume of TV and i told him to decrease the volume he wont listen to me and i shouted on him and in the process my mind got diverted and my middle finger was bledding hell.

no ,i don't

This is a very common thing.What happenned with you has happenned with most of the people who cut vegetables.I have had a very bad experience while I was cutting a mango.I almost cut my whole nail in the hurry of eating the mango.

Lol, seriously, I've managed to cut myself so many times it's not even funny. I should NOT be allowed to handle a sharp knife because you can almost guarantee that it'll somehow "slip" in my hand and I'll cut myself. Strangely enough though, the worst cut I received with a cutting utensil was while I was washing dishes one day. I grabbed a hold of the Pizza cutter, and as I attempted to hold it while I cleaned the wheel, it slipped and gave me a rather nasty cut along the side of my finger almost half an inch long. It hurt too!

I have funny story to tell about this topic. 5 years ago, my elder sister was preparing a very special main dish for the party. She was using a butcher's knife in cutting the chicken. Then my younger sister (10 yrs old then) was so intrigued by what she was doing. She wanted to help but was told to behave and just observe. We do not know of why all of a sudden she crossed her right hand when my sister was about to cut the chicken. The knife landed to her hand. SHe turned white and fainted. Goodthing the knife did not get her hands that bad (my elder sister was able to conrol a bit). What an exprience my sister had.

Yes,many times.It really hurts me badly.

yes i have because im so clumsy. right now, i have two cuts on my hands due to my clumsiness. i really hope that i can stop this clumsiness of mine because its not doing me any good.

i was cut a few times but the deepest one was not too serious.lol i didn't have to go to the doctor to ask for stitches! well at least now you're careful.

of course.many people has the same experience to cut themselves while preparing food in kitchen,mine was not seriously.but we can learn some experience from hurt and we'll do it better after that.

not yet. maybe im very careful to cut foods.. hehe

Yes i have done that once. Whenever my mom never is not at home i feel like trying ma luck with making ebything that smells good or atleast taste good. Once when she was not there i was cutting some vegetables and i was so busy watching tv that i actually cut ma finger. When my mom came home i told her what happened she told me that guys are not meant to cook.

for the first time i learn to cook something when my wife get sick for a while i cut my finger when i slice meat.

Nexttime you msut be very carefull, i do that sometimes accidentally especially if im in a hurry to finish certain tasks.

Awwww good that you recovered with out any trouble from that cut. Nice that you are careful now. I once sliced my index finger but wasn't any big deal i was chopping onions, didn't notice where my finger was. Off course i wasn't hurt much, just bleeded for few secs and i had the cotton and spirit in my first aid kit and nursed that immediately.

Hey, cutting yourself and preparing food go hand in hand. It's all a part of being in the kitchen. But serious cuts often deter you from going all out on the cutting part. But you could use those new cutting mechanisms that are in the market right.

yes. i cut myself pretty badly while slicing cheese about 14 years ago. The scar is still there. A portion of skin on the second joint(from the tip)of my index finger on my left hand was almost cut off. the knife didn't cut too far away from the bone either.i bled profusely but alls well now. :) thnk God..
