I would judge, but when I was 20 I sliced my finger trying to cut a butternut squash with a machete.
yeah man, he’d be like the jackchop guy, but in real life…The worst part is, most normal people doing this, you can be confident the video's gonna be fine and nothing terrible is gonna happen, cuz why would they post it? But with Tito, he could legitimately have severed a finger and still upload it, so this was nerve-wracking.
Honestly, I'd rather watch him attempt to box again over more of this.
No, because we learn to handle knives in our version of school... The meat slicing machine takes a lot of casualties too... No company would be able to insure dudes off the street wielding choppers out back, even though that's essentially how you're hired, and what the job entails.
Generally you'll go weeks without anyone cutting themselves in a kitchen, and when it does happen its normally from something retarded like opening a box, or stabbing yourself shucking an oyster... Burns are another story - all service chefs have at least one popped blister somewhere that could easily contaminate your food with that drippy shit that comes out of them... But no blood.
Boxes are the worst. They always get you in the creases too so they take forever to heal...I wish I could count how many times I've cut myself on a god damn box. You'd think eventually I'd stop tearing them apart like an animal, but no.
As for the video, absolutely horrifying. I don't think I've ever seen even the greenest of beginners attempt to cut an onion like that lmao.
Boxes are monsters. Pulling out a cardboard splinter is always kinda embarrassingI wish I could count how many times I've cut myself on a god damn box. You'd think eventually I'd stop tearing them apart like an animal, but no.

Buff ma dude! So I'd like your thoughts. I mentioned above googling cutting methods cuz I was always doing towards the root too. But I found this video, and since I see you've got tons of experience, I figured I'd ask your impression on it.
I feel like we need to ban Tito from cutting onions for the sake of his fingers.
The worst kitchen injuries I’ve seen were from Mandolines and oyster knives. One guy sliced his finger so bad he had to get skin grafts. The oyster knife was a puncture wound that had the man spurting blood a couple feet.Boxes are the worst. They always get you in the creases too so they take forever to heal...
Wanna know the real kitchen finger killer?

I get shudders when I look at that mandoline.
It took a genius like Tito to figure out how to get blood from a turnip: first put blood into the turnip/onionThat’s what I thought. Not the clearest video but I think he had blood all over that onion
