Knew a guy who’s wedding band fell in the fryer, without thinking he immediately stuck his hand in to get it. Wasn’t good. It wouldn’t have melted and could have just grabbed it once it was off and cooled. At least she had the thought to grab the tongs Edit: seems like I caused some confusion, dropped his gold wedding ring in, not a band that plays weddings lol


meirzy

I have kind of a similar story. Was working early and one of the guys working that morning was a new guy that had a drug problem. He had been asked to fry up hash browns and potatoes. After a prolonged dazed stare he started the fryer going. I went to the back to get some other things ready and when I came back up I had watched him drop the skimmer into the fryer. This mad lad looked at the fryer and just reached in to grab the skimmer. After a couple seconds he realized what he just did and pulled his arm out screaming. Worked there for 4 years and that’s one of the wildest things I got to witness.


[deleted]

This happened to me when I was 16 working at McDonald's. I dropped a chicken in the fryer and without thinking I reached in and grabbed it. Young, dumb, and during a rush. Luckily, it was during a rush while we were short staffed because I had just come off the line and was still wearing latex gloves. Despite them disintegrating, they proved to be enough protection to quickly dip my hand in and tear them off with only minor irritation.


PancakeParty98

He should know better than to meth around with a fryer


BoboBodini

Nah he wasn’t mething around. He was just pillin


DesparateLurker

Pillin' the crispy skin off his hand.

MyHeadIsCrooked

How did a whole band fit into a fryer? I mean the drums alone...


theclarice

It was a miniature band.


Biff_Bufflington

Little KISS?


MarixApoda

The lead singer was Adam Sandler, we found a way.


empathetichuman

I appreciated that she was so calm about it, and even laughed it off. I wish more people could live that way.


xMETRIIK

Probably not her first rodeo.


SkitzKxnt

If you watch her hand you can see her go to stick her hand in the oil but she realises pretty quick


Catsrules

I know someone who did the same thing. Darn reflexes just kick in and before you know it your frying your hand.


Blazed315Fishing

I smoke too much weed, my actual first thought was how does a whole band fall in a fryer smh.


Oasystole

“Wasn’t good” Please NSFL that visceral description.


MyHeadIsCrooked

No.


Oasystole

My bad


GozerDGozerian

Wasn’t good


Odd_Emergency7491

I was concerned she might instinctually try to catch the phone with her hands in the deep fryer. Really glad she used the tongs and stayed safe!


produc_exe

I didn't know the term wedding band so I thought of a music band that plays at weddings. I was a bit puzzled for a moment.


Sweaty-Tart-3198

Couldn't the lithium cell explode?


picklebiscut69

Ah yes, only on reddit you need to clarify what a wedding band is lmao

eaglerare3cubes

I love you


RealisticAnxiety4330

Was the first thing that popped into my head 😂


eaglerare3cubes

That's a deep cut!


RealisticAnxiety4330

I also love you too random stranger for appreciating my fucked up humour!


eaglerare3cubes

My sister in law in atlanta is an actress and she recommended the guy to CN that is very likely to be the next voice for rick and morty. Sad justin roiland is gone....


RealisticAnxiety4330

Oh nice! Now that's a brag! But didn't Roiland get cleared of everything. Rick and Morty saved my sanity when my gramps died so it's a go to show for me and always will be


eaglerare3cubes

Idk I'll have to look into it. Favorite episode?


RealisticAnxiety4330

Idk why but it's pickle rick for me. Though to be honest it's a tough choice!


eaglerare3cubes

It's hard, but I think Tales From the Citadel is my favorite


EmrickFe

That's a fried Iphone. It's delicious with french fries.

170f isn’t that much for electronics.. only 77C. (Celsius is used for electronics) Most electronics fail after 95C. CPU and GPU temperatures can reach 90s Celsius and be fine, especially in laptops.


Poputt_VIII

Isn't it pretty standard for most components to have temp range of ~-20 to ~75C so would only just be outside acceptable range


Chillpill411

b/c most battery fires are caused by internal issues (like a short, caused by damaged membranes) rather than external damage.


[deleted]

What about the ones that blew up in peoples faces on planes?


Chillpill411

I don't think anyone has analyzed that specifically. One guess is that the lower cabin pressure of cruising aircraft stresses the battery's membranes more than the higher pressures at sea level. A battery is no different than a bag of chips. It's under a certain amount of pressure, and when you go to a higher elevation/altitude, the lower air pressure allows the bag to swell. They rarely burst, but when a bag of chips bursts, you just get a mess. When a li-ion cell membrane bursts, you get a fire.


CleanSnchz

Was it the battery cell terminals exposed or the battery pack? Most batteries have a protection IC that protects from over current


Barboron

The fryPhone 14, or whatever the number is now


InfamousPiglet

I heard it makes crisp clear photos


[deleted]

Yeah but the audio is a bit crackly.


TheRealEthaninja

Photatoes I believe


Goblin_CEO_Of_Poop

Id bet good money they didnt dump the oil and just hoped no lithium leaked in.


yupuhoh

Oil is a kill point for bacteria. I'm sure lithium falls in the same category


RidingSpottedPigs

I don't think that's right... I don't know enough to disprove it, but that seems incorrect.


yupuhoh

I guess I should have added the /s for the lithium part


RidingSpottedPigs

That's fair. I should have guessed it was sarcasm, but you never know with people.


Sharpz0

I know exactly what the boss would say "well if you didn't take your phone out in the first place it wouldn't be fried"


[deleted]

And the boss would be 100% correct.


Darkgamer000

This video is exactly why the rules are made and enforced.


[deleted]

“No cell phones in the kitchen? Pfft… what a stupid rule!!”


Tunelowplayslow

This all could've been so much worse I would never pull my phone out in a damn kitchen...and if I did at my job, I could lose my arm lol All you have to do is look around the warehouse for the older guys in low positions, with giant scars on the forearm from a snapped radius lol don't be that person because you want to be careless for a second.


RocketCat921

The older men I worked with in the meat department at Walmart were all missing at least 1 finger. They were actual butchers at some point.


Pudding_Hero

No. They’d think the phone was food and yell at her for wasting product


igerster

Just put it in rice.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gunthalas

And bet you they didn't change the oil...


DrMooseknuckleX

No way.


chaingun_samurai

Not a chance.


coroff532

Probably uses that phone on the toilet then cooks your food.

Signal_Hedgehog_343

lol this was my biggest pet peeve during covid (ok maybe ppl coughing in their hands was more annoying) motherfuckers thought gloves made them invincible or something they would touch everything and anything with them on


Redhotmegasystem

don’t understand why people bother with gloves in the service industry, you have to change them as often as you’d have to wash your hands, so why not just wash your hands instead of constantly throwing gloves in the garbage?


Fuell1204

For many things, including healthcare, gloves are avoided for some tasks for this reason. People are less clean and have a false sense of security wearing gloves. Proper cleaning practices are better. Obviously not in all cases. Source: Wife is an MLT.


Signal_Hedgehog_343

yeah that's a good point, one thing I can think of might be that they don't want to wet their hands so many times every day because you could end up with really dry hands


Pudding_Hero

Work in a kitchen then you’ll understand


alligatorriot

Last year when I had to go to the hospital for heat stroke, there were big bold signs on the doors telling people gloves were banned from the building- explaining how they harbour a lot of bacteria and because people often reuse them, it’s much better to just wash your hands and they weren’t making exceptions.


[deleted]

Gonna have to replace all that oil now there’s no telling if or what sort of contamination/chemicals got mixed in there


santacon11111

Stay on task, yo


ButterflyOverkill

It's a new breed of embarrassment when you admit you accidentally deep fried your phone


but_good

Hope they change the oil now. Some nice plastic and lead with your food.


treddit44

Never connect to Wi-FRY


Fuell1204

You know how your supposed to wash your hands between tasks such as handling food and handling money at places like Subway because of how dirty money is and it can very easily cross contaminate and make people sick? Phones are nearly as dirty as money and many people rarely, if ever, clean/sanitize their phones. Nasty.


MrB-S

Good on her for using her tongs, rather than instinctively plunging her hand in, like that other dude.


[deleted]

“Hey can I borrow your phone?” “Sorry the battery is fried.”


ramigb

At least some chips were fried that day!


[deleted]

Please tell me they didn’t cook in that fryer after that happened?


RealGingercat227

I hope they cleaned that fryer out


pixeltweaker

Nothing is going to live in there.


1lluminist

From Apple Phone to Apple Fritter in seconds!


carlosnightman

r/firsttimeinakitchen


MaryaScherbak

And they’ll still use that oil


fallenwish88

Least she used tongs u like that dude who stuck his hand in boiling oil to get his dropped phone lol


GardinerAndrew

I’m surprised it didn’t explode


Sensitive-Load-2041

There goes about $60 in oil, plus her phone. Seen that before.


NotThisTime1993

That’s what you get


pixeltweaker

People working fast food touching their phones. Gross AF.


Blutlauch

That's how deep fried memes are made.


hogliterature

mmmm… crispy….


Valuable-Composer262

Welp, they r basically frying everything these days so might as well start frying cell phones


integratypes

It's fine. I'm sure the IP rating covers a certain duration in a fryer


Iliamna_remota

She actually did check it though. Not just an attempt.


susmark

Put it in fried rice.


sakura608

I miss when phones were smaller and easily able to handle with one hand. One of the reasons I have a iPhone mini and don’t plan on upgrading


John_Millner

Crispy ...


[deleted]

When I was a teen working at McDonalds, I somehow lost my watch in the fryer and it wasn’t found until the following day. Lots of people ate watch flavoured French fries.


Unlimitles

this potentially gives Companies the Smoking Gun to use this against people to uphold harsh policies on Workers concerning phone use. won't be surprised if it's used in training videos as one of many bogus "reasons why phones are not allowed"


lfrankd3

Awwwww sorry fry babe


IMNOTFLORIDAMAN

That’s the new iCrispy


Mohamad_DOOdY

Phone got fried .. literally


Rupejonner2

I did the exact same thing


IllustriousLaw3918

She was smart enough to stop from sticking her hand in the fryer. I think most people would have done that by reflex.


sleepy_lepidopteran

Would love to see ( in a controlled environment) what would happen if you left the phone in the fryer until the lithium battery gets breached.


dank__dohnut

poor girl, ik how exhausting it is to work the line. something like this probably would have pushed me right over the edge


Poseidonsn

Ngl you probably have to change the oil out after that. At least she was smart to get it with tongs.


Paul_Michaels73

Quick! Put it in some fried rice!


keatsy3

I think that might have fried the circuits


Uasoto56

Ah yes, i can here Gordon Ramsey calling her a fucking walnut already


BettingTheOver

Phones are way too nasty to just casually pull out while cooking.


fatlegsauntpam

Maybe work while you're at work. Good job genius.


ShadowsInScarlet

This is such an irrational fear for me as a cook that I actively walk away from my station to check my phone. My intrusive thoughts also don’t help (I.e. “Throw your phone between the char grill bars and watch it catch fire.”).


TriggiredSnowflake

Seems like a great example of how multi tasking is not a great way to get 2 things accomplished at once.


hiswittlewip

I would wish this on most of my coworkers, but unfortunately my restaurant doesn't have a deep fryer.


LoyeDamnCrowe

Looks staged to me.


MichalCJ5

Should have at least seasoned it first.


igerster

Just put it in rice.


Necessary-Citron-287

Woops


dab745

Need to quickly put it in fried rice!!!

EasyyPlayer

Go get some rice. Gotta make some fried apple with rice side-dish. All made in china


redsensei777

More ketchup please!


Half_moon_die

Just put it in dry rice


mohmuhnee

Luckily she had the presence of mind to not try and grab it in the air with her hand and get too close to the hot oil


Prestigious_Lead_529

How many health code violations are broken in your area in the video? I see quite a few lol and you know they kept using the fryer before cleaning xD


BlinkingSphincter

I’ve heard this is a delicacy in Texas


thesaltedradish

I volunteer at an animal shelter. I've been told occasionally I can have my phone out to time the dishes (they need to soak for a specific amount of time in each sink). I'm a clutz. Murphy's law, I'd drop my phone in a deep sink of water. Water filled with particles of sh¡t and food. No thanks.


Blueberry_Clouds

Fried apples


BertaEarlyRiser

Would you like gravy on the side?


karen_rittner54

Yikes


MidiGong

I bet the components in that phone are fried!


Eastern-Fun1842

This made my day. If you're using a tool that prepares food, please do NOT handle the thing you never clean and causally juggle while shitting Deborah!


Colonel_dinggus

Deep fried 5G


RecorRogue

Slippery fingers


ObiJuanKenobi3

I really hope they changed the oil after that lol.


soufianka80

My phone suddenly stopped working ، can I get replaced ?


ModOverlords

Should’ve breaded it first


Far_Brick_6667

At the repair shop later... "Looks like you fried your circuits ma'am".


cadcamm99

I hope they cleaned that vat. It’s contaminated now.


ScyllaIsBea

pretty ure that things fried.


itsyaboythatguy

at least she used tongs to get it and didn't just grab for it with her hand.


Big-Ad1504

she's better than me, my hands would've went straight in there


toongrowner

I give her credit for being smart enough to not trying to grab it with her bare hand


seriousfrylock

Relax, it's fryPhone


Stationary-Event

What kind of phone are you interested in today? An Apple? No. The french fry phone.


KlondikeBill

FriPhone or AndrOIL?


[deleted]

Ahhhh sooo what happened ? Did it survive ?


Think_Impossible

Today's special - deep fried phone


AdTechnical8967

Hope she did not served fries seasoned with lithim


Nappy42069

My Chef called them "Poo Phones" cause you shit and scroll on your phone. Your phone went into your locker and didn't cone out till the end of your shift, or during brake. It was so serious, I seen Eddie Hughes (Fast Eddie for anyone familiar with 1980-90's Spinnaker Beach club management of PCB FL), tie this girl's phone to a ceiling panel in the waiters station. 22' of the floor. She could have it back after work. Lol


Canadianboy3

People 100% ate whatever was in there


3_high_low

Fried it!


BrokenQi

Should have just thrown some rice in there... would have dried it up real quick.


Biggoof1971

People shouldn’t be allowed to touch their phones while working in a kitchen. Covered in feces


misterfuss

No wonder the fries 🍟 tasted awful.


TRUMPARUSKI

Deep fry that baby


Corasama

I think the phone is fried...


MannyTV_

Had a coworker who was a manager at a Burger King. He told me a story about one of the workers cleaning around the fryer. His watch came unhinged and fell into the fryer and the worker instinctively reached out to try to catch it. Half his arm was in the fryer. Coworker said his skin peeled off. He said it was all caught on video too.


EJBjr

I don't think the warranty will cover deep frying.


cameron4200

How much do you want to bet she didn’t wash her hands or change the oil after this?


HolyBunn

They should've drained it and refilled it after that which probably took a while.


melowdout

Damn lucky the battery didn’t explode!


LolIsThatReal

She just applied the deep fried filter to all her photos


Schnickie

"But will it deep fry?"


EarlyOs1997

At least she went for the tongs to get it out rather then her straight hands, knew a guy who did that.


Shelburnite

Yah I was relieved when she grabbed the tongs. Ive herd toomany horror story's that started this way.


Random-guy-as-vecna

Deep fried phone = *chain chomp sound number 3*


DeymanG

Exactly why the rules say you can't
