Kitchen accidents...tell us your story

I've been lucky. Cut my finger a couple of times when chopping veggies. Nothing requiring stitches.
Yesterday I was heating a pan of hot oil and my long sleeve T-shirt sleeve grabbed the handle. Came about one half inch from a spill.

Many years ago, the ex was trying to make a roux in a microwave. It exploded, denting the door on the microwave and disintegrating the glass bowl into the smallest shards I've ever seen. Damn roux went all over the kitchen cabinets. I don't believe that woman ever tried to cook another thing again for the rest of our marriage.

Damn, that one is better than my favorite wife story. She decided to make bacon. She bought some bacon and knew that it must be 'fried.' Frying is cooking in hot oil. So, she filled a sauce pan with oil and heated that sucker up to high smoke. Then she opened a rasher of bacon...12 oz. package from the fridge and threw it in the oil. There was an explosion.

I've done that. But the turkey turned out fine anyway.

I didn't have a teapot so I decided to boil some water and put it in an old water gallon container to brew tea in. That sucker shriveled up the instant the water touched it and scalding water went everywhere. (Still don't know what I was thinking)

I cut the tip off of my middle finger once while slicing brussell sprouts with a hand held ceramic bladed mandoline. I have a circular scar a quarter inch in diameter on the tip of that finger with no feeling. I now wear a kevlar glove whenever I use that mandoline.

As a child I sat on the counter in my families old house as popcorn was being made. When the pot lid was lifted I leaned over to look at the progress as a kernel popped. Hot oil in both eyes which produced one hell of a scream. I am rushed to the eye doc of Thibodaux, and he does his thing. Two weeks of bandages and blindness, with accompanying walking into walls ensued. But the sun still looks beautiful in the morning still.

My sister opened the top of a pressure cooker filled with beans years ago without cooling under a steam of water. Beans are a bitch to get off the cieling.

You must be talking about the jiggler, not the lid, right? In my experience, even with the old fashioned pressure cooker without interlocks,it would be near impossible to get the lid off under pressure.

And now that you mention pressure cookers, I ruined 7 quarts of chili I was canning by cooling it down too quickly. When the pressure dropped in the pot, the higher pressure in the jars then had to come out and it blew the seals on the jars.

Nope. One lb beans meet cieling, and make a lound noise.

I was chopping a habenero to throw into my chili
as i was chopping, a seed flew up in the corner of my eye by the top of my nose. without thinking i tried to remove it with my hand, that had also touched the pepper.
needless to say, it was the worst pain ive ever experienced. went through a gallon of milk to ease the pain

I did that with the first turkey I ever cooked. It was in one of those Reynold's cooking bags too, so when I went to check the turkey, I saw something weird floating in the liquid, and went WTH is that?
When I was a freshman living in a dorm, my roommate's mom sent her an air popcorn popper. We were all excited, and went about making the popcorn in the dorm's kitchen area. Problem was we forgot to bring a bowl, and the popcorn started spitting out of the machine so fast all over the kitchen. We grabbed a spare garbage bag and held it under the opening, and the popcorn melted holes in the bag.
BTW, my roommate is now a doctor, so she was supposed to be smart.Posted on 1/14/11 at 8:56 pm to coolpapaboze
