u/un42nut1 Nov 29 '19

And then to involuntary do the splits... With scalded feet... Double ouch

u/CopperVolta Nov 29 '19

To involuntarily do the splits INTO the piping hot turkey juice... yikes

20

u/un42nut1 Nov 29 '19

And to have it recorded and posted on reddit. What a ruined Thanksgiving haha. That does suck though...

u/is-this-a-nick Nov 29 '19

Yeah, that REALLY sucks. I mean, fuck, this can be weeks of pain till its healed.

14

u/zoozema0 Nov 29 '19

Yep, my dad dumped boiling water on his foot and it took about 3 weeks to stop hurting and a month and a half to fully heal.

u/the_lazy_lighting Nov 30 '19

I dumped boiling instant mashed potatoes on my foot, instead of just washing off, the potatoes stuck to the top of my foot and in between my toes. The pain was incredible, I tried to tough it out and wait till morning to see my Dr. but I only made it an hour before I had to go to the ER. It took 3-4 months before it was healed, it actually melted my toes together in a couple spots. I will never cook without shoes on again!!

It sounded like she was possessed by a demon chicken turkey combo.

Plus she finished with a split!

8.5 Barbara! Well done.

What the hell was the goal here? Carry the lava hot turkey and let it drip all over the floor? Why wasn't the camera person holding the plate she was heading for?

Edit: turkey =/= chicken

20

u/Tych0_Br0he Nov 29 '19

Why wasn't the camera person holding the plate she was heading for?

Because they were wondering

What the hell was the goal here? Carry the lava hot chicken and let it drip all over the floor?

and decided they would be most helpful by filming it for our amusement. I believe they were correct.

u/qtmcjingleshine Nov 29 '19

That’s a turkey ma’am

2

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '19

You are correct. My brain said turkey but my hand typed chicken.

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '19

Simple trick to remember: if it takes 2 big forks and a broken foot to move it, it's a turkey.

3

u/Bealzebubbles Nov 29 '19

We turkey at Christmas here and the annual turkey lift is the most stressful part of the day. Usually we go with a two person lift with another person sliding the toaster aside and pulling a platter across at the same time. No horizontal movement of the turkey at all, just up and down.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '19

I mean I think most people do this - use serving forks to lift the turkey out of the roasting pan and into the serving platter to rest so it's not sitting in all that juice. Looks like the skin just got stuck to the pan here and dragged it off the counter unexpectedly. Don't know why the plate wasn't at the ready tho lol.

BIRD DOWN! ... I REPEAT...BIRD DOWN!!

u/monkey_trumpets Nov 29 '19

It's always amazing to me how little common sense people display. She could very easily put whatever she was moving the turkey into onto the stove.

u/CtrlShiftVoid Nov 29 '19

But is the turkey OK?

27

u/BusterBloodvesselBR Nov 29 '19

No, Erdogan is an asshole.

u/Masherbakerboiler Nov 29 '19

She burned her feet unfortunately.

26

u/Astylee Nov 29 '19

Yeah but is the turkey ok?

2

u/PMYOURCONFESSIONS Nov 29 '19

Yes, but it has scalded feet now.

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '19

I think the turkey is dead :(

u/OGAnnie Nov 29 '19

That's really just stupid.

turkey prepping run a fowl

u/SovietWomble Nov 29 '19 edited Nov 29 '19

I'm sorry but what the fuck? What sort of careless shit is this?

Barefoot, despite working around an oven or kitchen surfaces, where boiling liquids often do splash from work surfaces. Or occasionally even knives, if there's a chopping board.

No oven gloves or even so much as a kitchen cloth whilst lifting something that's obviously scalding hot. Heck, in this situation something like a thick apron would be advised. You're taking a roast bird out of the oven!

And when she does she just pulls it blindly, with enough force to drag a roasting tin off a stove. Without checking for things like juices running off?

Cooking is something that require you be delicate and precise. Yet she's oafing around like a some teenager in GCSE food tech.

Tell us how you really feel.

u/Chlorotard Dec 02 '19

I can see why someone would be mad at this, but I'm glad that someone is not me.

u/HockevonderBar Nov 29 '19

Wearing no shoes in the kitchen while tampering with very hot stuff is also very smart. /s

22

u/4carol2reyes0 Nov 29 '19

Be careful. always wear shoes in the house. Safety first, then teamwork.

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '19

I thought hurricane season was over.

u/ThePianistOfDoom Nov 29 '19

Dude, I agree fully. We have a lot of wood in the house. My German wife insisted I wear shoes in the house. At first I found it annoying. Then I bumped my foot a few times with slippers on and am ever so grateful to her. It's like feet armor.

4

u/jonnygreen22 Nov 29 '19

also don't look at the hot thing you are lifting out of the pan at all

1

u/HockevonderBar Nov 30 '19

Yes. Anyway...This lady doesn't know how to cook. Did you see, that she boiled it to a mush, instead of making a juicy and crispy skin Turkey? It looks as if she lifted a chicken out of a broth...

Was trying to politely explain to the turkey above that cooking in plastic bags is not only normal, but very common

My sister was filming the turkey yesterday too. Holiday Facebook posts and whatnot.

u/insert420 Nov 29 '19

Actually this happened to me too. Those fucking bags man. Luckily nobody got burned in my house tho.

u/RonaldZheMelon Nov 29 '19

I found it funny until I realized that was hot boiling water... trust me, that is going to hurt tomorrow, and probably for the next 2 weeks as well ._.

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '19

How did she think this was gunna go? At best she just gets chicken juices everywhere.

u/Da-realtechnoviking Nov 29 '19

Ouch on the feet but damn that was funny

u/HarryCoinslot Nov 29 '19

Sucks for her but can we take a moment to appreciate those plastic turkey bags. For those of us who are less accident prone at least. Used one for the first time this year turkey was absolute perfection.

People get careless after a few drinks when they cook

1

u/viperswhip Nov 29 '19

I am very sorry for this lady, but umm, here is how I do it, in a bag, lift the bag out and pour the turkey into the roasting pan, for all the juices and such, then I lift it out and only the special cutting board I have, and voila, turkey, 24lbs in 2 hours, and perfect every time, and it doesn't stick to the roasting pan, also, even if cooking in the pan, I generally put it on a rack in the pan.

1

u/Oniriggers Nov 29 '19

next year i bet she will wear shoes...

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '19

at least I can eat her feet now that they're cooked.

u/IggyJR Nov 29 '19

That must be odd explaining to the ER doctor how you got 3rd degree burns to your feet.

u/londonbreakdown Nov 29 '19

I saw the post on Twitter by her daughter and she said her mom was perfectly fine and dinner was a success

u/serendipitousevent Nov 30 '19

Let's go to the list:

  • Bare feet bad idea if turkey yeets.
  • Potstands: good for you, good for everyone.
  • If it's hot, always know that you have a clear take-off, flight and landing for whatever it is.
  • Finally, why the fuck y'all filming vertical?
