But have you ever worked at McRaunchy's or other fast food joint where the friers are open and you do get splashed? Fries are not usually cooked in closed or filtered containers.
My first job was at the Drive In Theatre in Pictou County as a cook, and I do believe my second job was at KFC, which has both fat fryers and pressure cookers.
I never got splashed through normal operations of the fryers.... the only time I got splashed with oil was when at the drive in and while I was trying to do my damn job, one of the idiot morons who's job was to just walk around with a flashlight and telling people not to have sex in their cars, who also worked there for a while decided to cook himself his own fries. While I was cooking up some burgers, he got the brilliant idea to take the fry tray full of fries straight out of the fryer and flung them into the area where you salt them, and I was in between the two, and ended up with him dripping hot oil over my hands.... which is why the d*ck wasn't supposed to be in there in the first place.
They had two cooks, myself and the other one wasn't him. I told him a thing or two about where to go after that.
I hated the damn job anyways, and eventually was fired about a month after I was hired. The boss was a d*ck who took advantage of kids just getting into the work force and knew little about their rights, worked most of us almost like slave labour at minimum wage, doing jobs most of us shouldn't have been doing due to OHS guidelines and the other cook who was supposed to train me and also help out during intermission, was 7 months pregnant and was hardly there.
I was supposed to be hired on as the sex patrol, but they tossed me into the kitchen at the last minute.
The other job at KFC only lasted about a week and a half before I decided to quit. Just wasn't my thing, had no interest in the job, which was handed to me without applying, and wasn't too fond with how they made their gravy.
I can cook, and I can cook very well I am told.... I just don't do fast food and doing mass production of food for piles of people. Friends & Family, yes.... but not much more than that interests me.
Some food for thought:
Mcy'D's over here in Australia is called Maccers..... which always reminds me of a place you'd find a bunch of Mac Daddy's eating at, all pimped out.
I've cooked with a deep fryer too... big diff between cooking with a deep fryer, and WORKING with a deep fryer... that's just nasty.
Well I thought you guys were talking about a fryer at your home, ala cooking with one, not working with one, which is why you guys kept them outside or didn't use them often. :-?
I learned the exciting way that one does not remove the lid from the pressure cooker whist the thingy is still saying SS-SS-SS-Stop
I never did while working at KFC.... I was just told not to until it beeped it was done.... so I didn't. Something about the word "Pressure" kept ringing in my head :lol:
ukeright:.............I'll just stick to the artery clogging chips.
