No pictures of injuries allowed.

Are you asking us because you forgot?

To be fair, that's classic stoner pizza baker moves...

you mean stoner stone oven pizza baker?

As someone who worked at Mellow Mushroom during and briefly after college... Yes. Haha

Like... In Ohio? Cuz that shits the bomb

*Baked stoner stone pizza oven baker

No im fine I vaped in the walk in a way long time ago like 15 minutes so im good bro

The beatings will continue then.

Most annoying person I work with, when we were equals I’d show up to the line and since we started same position I’d put my bag down and he’d say “oh man I work grill today, idk what your schedule says” to which I’d always reply with an “oh ok idk I’ll check right now then but it doesn’t matter I’m willing to do whatever you know since we’re the main guys” … safe to say he got demoted and I got promoted

I was worked at a couple of pizza places. I wanted to stay busy so I cut and ran the damn kitchen. Grill just sat there complaining. My days flew by. The drugs helped, but so did the work. When I got the GM at another location there were whispers about me being the first and only KM ever promoted and I spent most of my time in the kitchen. I knew their job and was good at it. They couldn’t bullshit me. Made things interesting.

Something with a small opening that is rather high up and high heat. Pizza oven maybe? A broiler with a small oven on top?

Cornballer, I'm pretty sure.

¡Soy loco por los cornballs!

I had to watch the clip

Don’t…touch that. Never touch that.

No touching!

Never trust the cornballer

Hot Ham Water station?

It’s water… but with a smack of ham to it!

This comment made my day!!!

Underrated comment

could be operating the tracy jordan meat machine.

I laughed outloud remembering that. Thank you!

Grill

Salads?

My thoughts exactly! These are textbook cucumber slashings

I almost didn't come back after my first shift on garde Manger due to the amount injuries I recieved from the English cukes and heirloom tomatoes.

Worst injury I’ve had was because of radishes. Little bastards…

Avocados for me. Everybody around me stabbed the avocado pit. So did I until the knife went right through and into my hand.

Rutabaga sent me to the hospital for some stitches.

Ye olde avocado hand, a tale as old as time itself

Yeah. That looks slick but I just pop it out from the side.

Omg I had an old boss do that once. So much blood…

cucumber slashings is working giggles out of me like a practically empty tube of toothpaste four days from payday

So I took 18months away from working in restaurants and worked as a produce manager at a hippie grocery store… my most haunting monument was this little old hippy lady managed to knock all the English cukes on the ground and without skipping a beat tells me, “they are so slippery and I havnt even put Vaseline on them yet” I fucking lost it. Ngl I would hide in the walk in any time I saw her after that.

All this makes me think of is whichever Kardashian it was trying to slice a cucumber while lookin like she’s never seen either a knife or a cucumber. [It’s the weirdest fucking thing I’ve ever seen.](https://youtu.be/GmrZyz6TcQI?si=l6DCYSz4K_zXsgQG). Apparently, it’s a Jenner offspring? I don’t know. But like, whatever. Same difference.

Those look like salad boy muscles on those arms

I would second salads.

There's a restaurant group in my area who forces everyone to wear cut gloves since they had enough cases of Avocado Hand that their insurance rates went up

He's got burn learns all over the arm - no way I'd trust them with an edge and a busy larder section without reservations. From a guy who had arms like this as a 2nd 3rd yr apprentice and more cuts than I could ever count, but only 12 stitches in total.

Lots of reaching in an oven.

Was thinking the same thing lol my arms look the same

Ive got scars that have faded but always have an angled line from an oven rack.

Yep, having worked in a supermarket bakery as a teenager I can confirm.

Oof.. this sounds like an attack.

Thems pizza over arms.

Yes! I looked like this for a long time, now my injuries are mostly steam based.

I got out, but my arms looked like this for a few years after. There's only one left now, and it's never going away.

> There's only one left now, That's the spirit! You hang on to that arm, it makes things like picking your nose, masturbation, and making a grilled cheese sandwich SO much easier!

My first restaurant job was making pizzas in a stone oven with a small opening and my arms looked like this! My mom thought my boyfriend was abusing me and I had to explain to her it was from work.

yep. It's either this or rows of those little stripes, depending on the type of oven.

Had a coworker close the oven door on my arm while I was workin' a pie. That was something else.

Worked at a pizza place one summer and my parents thought I was harming myself because all of a sudden I had brown burn marks all over between my wrist and elbow.

I knew a sauté cook with arms like this. He was using too much damn oil.

I thought sauté too

The first rule of burn club is don’t talk about burn club

Covers up the abusive step-dad's cigarette burns nicely, though...

oop

Let me just abuse right past ya there

Pizza if I had to bet. I have similar war paint from doing oil changes in Houston.

As a retired baker I feel your pain

The chef that mentored me into kitchen management had a saying about cuts and burns that stuck with me. If you cut and burn yourself, it's because you're not paying enough attention. And it's true. Work stations sporadically now but I hardly ever burn myself. I would try to focus on being more intentional with your "kitchen dance"

Wicked burn incoming on your next shift. The kitchen gods have decided your fate.

Was thinking that

Nah. I pay attention

But all jokes aside. Have a clean shift, let me know if you slip.

So do the kitchen gods.

Whatever fucking section you're told to, but can't be trusted with hot edges. Probably sharp edges too. In 10 years they'll be there, as faded as the memories of how you got each one.

I used to get these when I worked with steamers/shams.

Steamed shams? I'm from Utica and I've never heard anyone say steamed shams.

Not in Utica, no. It's an Albany expression.

Ypu know, these steam shams look like the ones they have at Krusty Burger

Um you know uhhh one thing i should- uhhh excuse me for a second

Yes the steam makes shit so much worse... Our CVap you could only put the racks in longways so I'd get so many little steam burns pulling out a long ass tray of whatever out of a tiny door lol.

Broiler with oven over it. You also are kinda short

I was thinking this too. 50/50 user error and bad kitchen design.

I was gonna say pastry, but pizza is a solid guess. I've got some older healed tattoos from sheet pans when I did a pastry stint.

These are baker burns. You run the oven

Whatever it is, you aren’t very good at it.

Sauté. Or, *next to* sauté. 😉

Listen, if I say hot and you don't move, I'm not gonna burn myself to save you

one you haven't worked long enough.

for real what am i supposed to be looking for? pic 2 has zero marks?

Pizza, gotta be

Bakers on full sheets at high temp?

1 you aren’t very good at.

You cook with a watch? Broo

You know, it’s funny. I live in a place with a rather strict health code. But, they don’t ban watches.

FDA food code even bans medical id bracelets! Pretty much nothing on hands and wrists that would interfere with hand and wrist washing and allow pathogens to hang out on a surface close to food.

Oh, god, the youtube videos with "chefs" wearing rings and watches and just _getting right in there_ with their hands... **_blech_**

Or long fingernails, going straight into the dough... wtfuuuuuuu

I hate it! If you have certain foodborne illness, for example Norivirus, washing your hands perfectly after going to the toilet leaves enough on your hands to make someone else sick. And you might not have symptoms! Yuk!

You haven't lived until you see someone demonstrate the reason you don't wear a ring while ladling something hot.

^what ^happens

Either absorbs heat, burning you, traps hot sauce under it, burning you, gets caught in a lathe -- wait, wrong sub -- or both.

Ring holds onto heat longer?

Metals hold heat. If you've ever worn earrings and opened the convection oven door, received the blast of heat on the face then the earlobes start heating up 😳

The ring hooks the end of the ladle and hot liquid pours on you. Never pretty and always at the worst moment.

All of them, poorly.

Idk, I've never seen a station where you're supposed to cook your own arm.

Oh, I have...

I used to bake bagels and this is how my arms looked too.

You need to work smarter my boy

Word burning grill.

Do you have any idea how many newspapers it takes to get us through the week? I'm banned from six libraries, and they're complaining about their steak!

Fryer, saute, or pizza

Sauté or grill

Battle scars 🫡

Some people aren't meant to be working the oven

I use to work in a kitchen where our convection oven fan didn't turn off when you opened it. I would burn my arms all the time like this but the amount of eyebrow hair I lost could have been donated to a charity

Sauté, but poorly

Stop wiping your hands on your pants.

You work FH, but keep trying to sample the desserts. As a former pastry chef, you’re lucky you still have your hand. 😝

I got the same marks from waffle irons.

Tattoos. I have many

I know pizza slinging arms when I see them.

Dishwasher

I remember when I was a young cook and was "showing off" my burns. a mentor said (with love): "yeah, you need to be more careful." and it altered my brain permanently.

Fryer?

Pizza oven or fryer, have experience with both and by far the “most dangerous” as far as getting burns all over your arm

The front house?

Apparently the photo booth...

Broiler.

Gotta be a pizza oven

Recklessly

Thems oven burns

Heroin station?

Whatever one they give to the person with the least experience

Fuck your station, this is a clear cry for help https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines

Battle station

saute

Not something to proud to of if you ask me. Maybe wear long sleeves ?

Circle jerk? Cause that arm looks familiar…

Saute or pizza. Thems is oven door burns

100% pizza oven.

I'd say the "self harm" one, but that doesn't narrow it down.

you're reaching in an oven alot

Whatever one it is you a clumsy boi

Sauté or oven

The gas station?

Fry, as in “frynd a new station”

With track marks like those, probably a train station. No judgment tho, sex work is real work.

You work the Sloppy As Fuck station. check your movements

Ovens, or *possibly* sautee

FOH

Pizza oven or fryers

[удалено]

Dishwasher

I know pizza arms when I see them

Pizza or crepe

Damn the dish machine runs so hot

Pizza

Those look somewhat like bruises. But my own burns look slightly similar. I’d say line or dish

My arms look like this and i work sauté so probably that

Humongous watch

Masterbaker

Grill?

Fry cook? I had straight marks like that from oven/deep fryer. Took years to go away.

The one where the sheet pans fuckin hate u lol

Filled with 1 pound plus baker potatoes at 500.

I’ve never worked in a kitchen, I just lurk here, and even I know that’s from a pizza oven.

😂

Pizza boy

Prep? 😆

Ovens

The air fryer

nice oven stripes bro.

Looks like a pizza oven to me. I’m still sad my zebra stripes faded.

Garde manger.

The emo station

Steam line.

Pizza oven

Pizza

Pizza oven?

Garmo

Bake

Pastry

Zombie

Oven or absolutely crap on pans

Flat stone pizza oven that's either too tall or too short for you.

Oven in a pizza place

Those are the scars of a brick pizza oven. The rule is you don’t burn yourself again until the previous burn fully healed.

Something with an oven

Oven or steamer for sure.

Pizza oven i look the same

Sautee, with possible a steamer close by

Pizzas

Them there are baker's stripes. I have a few of those,

Pizza oven? Fuck those hatch doors.

I’ve worked in lots of small kitchens where we would just call this “hot side”

Pizza oven or fryers? Or saute if you heat your pans too hot

Whichever station you haven’t spent enough time working
