How Do You Handle Unexpected Kitchen Injuries from Pampered Chef Products?

[wadesgirl]

I managed to cut myself on the things that you wouldn't normally think you could! I even cut my finger on the kitchen spritzer! Well today topped it all. I pulled the BBQ Tongs from the dishwasher and there was still some char on the inside so I ran my thumb up the inside only to slice open my thumb on the VERY sharp edges of the oval cut outs! It resembles a very bad paper cut and won't stop bleeding!

*wince* OUCH.I'm like you....cutting on the strangest things. I'm so bad- when I do demos and have to cut/slice something- I stop talking and focus. One trip to the ER after a show was enough, thank you very much. Hope it stops soon!

I luckily have not done that! But I do tell them when I touch something like a knife that I am a klutz! I quickly show them the knife and then put the cover back on.

Ouch! Industrial Accident?

Back down to 0 days without incident!

This made me laugh. We have a paper mill in my city. They have a little smiley/ frown face guy (his expression is made with neon bulbs) on a sign where they keep track of the number of days without an injury.My husband tells my customers that I'm notorious for hurting myself on anything PC related -- sharp (made for cutting) or not.

That is pretty funny! I work for a t-shirt printing company so once in a while we'll print t-shirts for companies boasting their safety record.

You're clearly very talented.

I think I have you beat! Sort of...

I was holding my serrated peeler today without the guard on (I was looking for it... it's so easy to lose!). ANyway, somehow I ended up holding it with my thumb against the serrated "head", with the serrated parts digging into my thumb-tip. And because of how they're angled, it's kind of like a barb, when you try to pull away from it it digs in more. Ouch!!! Anyway, I managed with my left hand to support the peeler and kind of push my thumb out from the other side, and actually didn't get cut. I was pretty worried for about half a minute before I figured out how I could get it off my thumb without ripping off a bunch of skin. Yikes!

Oh, and I also cut myself pretty badly with the spritzer!!!

Oh my....I just cringed my way through this thread! Of course, every time I look at my left hand I am reminded of the time I cut a chunk of my nail and nailbed out with my very new 5" Santoku. The scar on my foot from dropping my beloved Oval Baker is finally fading away after a year.
At least we can laugh at ourselves
