Have you ever been shocked in the kitchen?

I haven't had an electric shock but once i was cleaning my gas top and some domestos when down where the starter knob is and flames came out and the electricity went off... the gas has an electric starter ...i have to get that fixed,,,so, so much for cleaning...

OMG! I'm glad you're OK. You might check into having the cord repaired or replaced instead of getting an entirely new grill, to keep expenses down. Of course, it's a good excuse to buy something new!

Stupid grill!!!! My apartment is horribly humid, case the last time I tied to plug in my dehumidifier, it sparkd like a little SOB. I dind't get a shock, but the sparks were enough to warn me not to shove the cord in there. I'll get my husband to fix it when he ges here.

That is awful. I have been shocked once when I was a kid. I couldn't unplug a wire with my hand so I pulled it out with my teeth. That was a big mistake. I felt a big shock.

LOL...yes I have been. Ex-hubby and I had no money there for awhile and took anything others didn't want anymore to set up our home nicely. His mom gave us her old electric skillet. It worked great...especially since our stove was propane and we could barely afford enough propane for the furnace. Anyway, there was only one small problem. There was a short in the plug so whenever we touched the temperature dial we got a little zap. We just learned to not touch the dial if it was plugged in...and laughed at each other when one of us would forget. We actually made dinner together a lot of times...except when I was pregnant because he didn't want be messing with the skillet anymore.

No, I haven't ever been shocked by anything in my kitchen. I am glad that you are okay and I sure hope that the tape fixes the problem. I do use my grill a lot too but not as often as it sounds like you do. Do you fix anything other than meat on it? If so, what kinds of things?

my boyfriend and i really hope to have a george foreman grill. maybe one day when we can finally afford to get one. sorry to hear about your "shocking" experience. i hope you are feeling a lot better today and not shaking while typing here in myLot. i haven't been shocked in our kitchen. not yet atleast and hopefully, never. but i did get a shock once while plugging in the telly cord. i did not realize a cut on the cord. i got so scared! but good thing it wasn't that bad at all.

fortunately, i never been shocked before in the kitchen... i always try to be careful with electricity... but i had been burnt many times before and i really hate it... it is so painful and leave bad marks on my hand... i can't help it as i have to cook everyday and i want to do it as fast as i can... so sometimes i didn't even realise when i burnt or cut my hand... take care and have a nice day...

not in my kitchen-but i'd had a faulty vacuum that shocked me so bad it knocked me out once.i woke up on the floor and the outlet was smoking.

i was shocked once by my electric frying pan. there was no breaks in the cord, the pan itself wasn't working well on one half from overuse. but that shock hurt like heck.

ho that was really close my friend my god you are very lucky and nice this is the best example the humans will learn from their mistakes and no i did not get shock in my kitchen but many times their were sparks in the kitchen when i switch the lights any ways you are very lucky tack care of your health

eh, it's only 110-120 volts ac ... you'd live through a pretty good shock from a regular outlet at home... especially in newer homes, but that's beside the point... i get shocked at work from time to time... its an occupational hazzard i guess. i'm a maintenance electrician for a big factory, so from time to time i get shocked by more than 120 volts... but i'm lucky enough to not be dumb, so i've yet to sustain any serious injuries at work :) hopefully i can keep it up for a few decades

Hi beautyqueen!! I woke up early to cook rice and take a bath before i cook i wash my face first then i go to the kitchen and turn on the lights and there was the the big snake so i am shock because of the very big snake.. I was very scared and shocked why there's a snake in our kitchen?

lol, in my country, its not that much dangerous. there is no chance for me to get shocked as i never ned to plug anything in at any time. everything is plugged (well only the things i need) so i am pretty lucky

I get electric shocks from the washing machine all the time. I now approach it with the utmost caution and unplug it from the wall before I touch the wet clothes! The weird thing is that it only ever shocks me. I swear my husband doesn't believe me as it has never given him one.

First of all, BQ, if someone hasn't already suggested this, go to the hardware store for a replacement plug...the kind that you slide the cord into and then clamp down to connect the plug prongs to the cord wiring. Cut the cord off clean above the break, throw the bad part away, put the new plug on, clamp it tight and you're good. I'm sure they make them for those kinds of cords - I've replaced lamp and vacuum plugs that way before. Secondly, the only shock I've had in the kitchen is when something I made turned out well. I've luckily avoided the other kind - in the kitchen, anyway. Got knocked across the lobby once as a child when I pushed the elevator button and there was a short in it. It SHOT me across the lobby of whatever floor I was on and I hit the wall and collapsed at the top of the stairs to go down in the building. When I regained my composure enough to get up, I FLEW down the stairs to wait at the bottom for my parents and never ever again tried to make their elevator stop at every floor (which is what I had been doing).
