Cooking accidents

[Captain Caveman]

This was about 2 weeks ago. The girlfriend and I have a 4 ring gas hob.

Well, I followed a Sainsbury's recipe and made Chinese Chicken and Sweetcorn soup on the back right ring in a pot, it didn't need the lid. Tbh, there's more chicken and sweetcorn in that than the takeaway, but, that's not the issue. Later it transpired, I left the lid on the worktop to the right

So on the front left gas ring, I had a small frying pan with very hot vegetable oil, the reason being is, I was putting blank discs of prawn crackers in to make fresh prawn crackers.

ACCIDENT POINT - my girlfriend (accident instigator in bold) came through and decided to have some of the soup. The stupid bint decided to put some soup in a bowl for her alone, and then put the lid on the pot, the one I didn't need to use.

So after cooking the prawn crackers, I took the lid off the soup, which had collected some condensation on it, and as the sink was to my left, I just moved the lid that I didn't need to use to the sink. Some water off the lid landed in the hot oil, the hot oil splashed up onto my wrist.

And my stupid girlfriend thinks it's my fault.

Lesson learnt. If I don't need the lid, straight into the dishwasher. If the girlfriend comes into the kitchen and does things around me, I switch it all off and leave until she leaves.

Hope the soup was good enough to distract from the pain for a while.

It's damn sore, but, it's beginning to crust up. On the same hand, I decided to jigsaw it about 2 years ago when fitting a kitchen. I had to wear a latex glove to keep the blood in to finish it . Across the top of my finger, it feels like electric when I touch it. So as for pain level, I just grin and bear it, past caring with injuries.

Just a tip that my daughter gave me when boiling foods that have a tendency to boil over (rice). Place a wooden spoon across the top of the pan and it won't boil over. Works pretty well.

You did nerve damage to that finger.

I know all about that.

Me too. I cut a portion of the tip of my left index finger off in a metal shear years ago--just soft tissue. It was difficult to feel if a hidden nut was threading correctly because of the nerve damage. Now, 45 years later, the touch/feel has returned but not completely.

Am I the only one who thought about:

“You got your chocolate in my peanut butter” upon reading the thread headline?

Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the soup.

This reminds me of the Sawyer Brown song named Betty's Bein' Bad".

Betty's out bein' bad tonight.
Betty and her boyfriend they had a big fight.
She found out what everybody knew.
Too many cooks spoil the stew.
She don't care what nobody thinks.
She's gonna be bad 'til the whole town stinks.

God bless you and the band and the songwriter always!!!

P.S. The only mishap that I remember being guilty of is forgetting to strain the meat the first time that I made spaghetti. It was still eaten, and it was good, but yeah, I forgot to strain the meat after I cooked it.

Did that once -- completely severed a nerve so that the tip of the finger is dead. I tried a few times in frustration to perform some task with it and gave up.
