Do you think you could deep fry your own face?

Does it make me a bad person if I LOL at that? :laugh:

You never worked in a kitchen I guess. This is not funny since it happens quite a bit.
It's a commercial produced by the worker safety insurance board trying to cut down on accidents, thus lower payouts.

She was carrying that all wrong though, we always carried those types of things much lower and kept our legs further apart to minimize the damage should a fall occur, which did happen relatively often.

point is it should not be done period, not how it is done.

Plus, where are the rubber mats on the ground?!?!

it was really cool.

In HS, we lit our hands on fire in chemistry. First, you dip your hand in water, then pick up some methane bubbles and ignite them. The water on the surface of your skin keeps you from getting burned.

You can do the same thing with hair spray or lighter fluid*

*don't try this at home

Errr, i'm gonna go with 'no' and 'please get help'...

Jesus Christ, that would be worse than burning to death.

I'm sure one of those monks that doused themselves in gasoline and set themselves on fire could.

I used to work in a small restaurant back in high school. One night, we were cleaning the line (two of us) and the other guy decided it was a good idea to stand on the edge of the fryer to bring down the vent hoods. He slipped, and his leg, up to around the knee, slid into the fryer.

He screamed bloody murder and we took him to the hospital, but after they cut off the oil-soaked pants from his leg, it looked like a messed up piece of cooked meat and I doubt it ever got much better.

So to answer the question in the OP, no.

wow, that's crazy, I cringe just reading it. How long was his leg in the fryer and was he able to walk ok? How long would your leg have to be in the fryer before you'd have to amputate?

It was only in there about 30 seconds. I was on the other end of the line and he was kind of stuck against the wall, with his shoe lodged in the bottom of the fryer. A couple of us got to him at around the same time and pulled him out. Unfortunately I think having the oil-soaked pants stuck to his leg made the injury worse than it would have been.

KT

30 seconds! Holy shit!

That would be an eternity.

Reminds me of that South Park episode where the shop teacher is about to commit suicide by going through a band-saw, crotch-first.

"Jesus Christ, what was I thinking?! That was gonna hurt like hell"
*turns around to go through head-first*

That's a long time when your leg is getting fried.

When I was 3, I was eating an apple slice around where my parents were deep frying some stuff. I dropped the apple in the frying pan and, being 3, I put my hand into the hot oil to fish it out. Or so I'm told, I have no memory of this, but it's been confirmed by several people who were there at the time.

I'm sure I'd have to be pretty desperate to do that voluntarily.

Anyone else read this thread and instantly think of the tempura scene from Ichi the Killer?

Meh, not very realistic.

A few years ago I was a fry cook for a high volume chicken restaurant.

Well one days my hand up to the wrist slipped into a fryer with 450 degree oil. It was in the oil for about 2 seconds. Fortunately I was right next to my cooking cart/flour and was able to dip my hand in flour and get the oil off before it really started to cook my skin.

Ive also been sprayed with hot grease. The moron who cleaned out the fryers for got to secure the valve caps. I went to flip the reverse on the filter and the valve cap and hot grease sprayed me from my knees down. Fortunately I knew how to handle the situation and didn't get burnt there either.

Putting your head in a fryer would be a horrible way to go. Possibly one of the most painful.

It would melt your eyelids pretty quickly and then burn your eyeballs. Your ears would go pretty quickly too. You probably would eventually die of shock.

 

[spaceman]

dont bob for fires in hot vat it really hurts bad and so do skin grafts



would you like an apple pie with that?

 

[wwswimming]

that sounds like a scene from the next Silence of the Lambs.

i suppose if the Evil Doctor can talk a guy into cutting off his own face,
he can persuade someone to deep-fry their head.

 

[thomsbrain]

Hell no, can you imagine the acne?

 

[eplebnista]

No, too painful.

Could you calmly turn on the industrial fryer and dip your head, face first, into the hot oil?

This assumes that you wish to end yourself, of course.

U are seem to have a lot of issues there. I suggest you seek an immediate professional help...

 

[wiredspider]

Heck no, if I really ever wanted to off myself, I would choose something more instant and guaranteed.

That would be a brutal way to go, I'd say no. I would rather jump off a really tall building, that's probably the most painless way to go, as you faint before you even hit the ground.

About that girl carying the bucket, why would you even carry something like that by hand? Use a cart or something. It's not a matter of acting all tough that you can carry it, it's a matter of safety. Of course a cart in a kitchen would be awkward and could be even more of a danger in a cramed kitchen. IT should of been carried much lower at least, though.

 

[sonambulo]

No. No fucking way. No. Just no.

 

[Locut0s]

A better question is would you put your dick in there! If forced to by threat of death. Putting your face in there would probably kill you anyway but the other would probably just castrate you if you got to a doctor, remember it's under threat of death.
