yeah I wouldn't cook either. Especially not fryers.

I remember back in the day.. I used to peel spuds etc... sacks and sacks of spuds, into the spud machine. One night they decided I should operate the fryers . This was in a really popular Pub, and I'd no experience............. Boy were they sorry. Grin

A few days later I was told I was not needed. PHEW. What a relief.

We don't do any deep frying. The unhealthiest it gets is BBQ. We're trying to give people a good healthy meal.

There might be somewhere in your space that you can look at doing that. If you like chopping shyte up, bring your own knives. I used to sharpen their knives, hid the best one away, but people continue to use them in ceramic dishes, stainless steel trays, plates, I gave up and brought my own. Someone even grabbed one of my knives and used it to cut cheesecake in a ceramic tray while I was out of the kitchen. My Gordon Ramsay moment!

I suppose I might seem a bit anal about them. Cry

I hate blunt knives. My wife is a bit scared of sharp knives, I keep telling her they are far safer than dull knives. I bought her one from Japan that should arrive soon, got her to chop some stuff with mine and she admitted it was effortless to chop with it. She's a serrated knife kinda girl, but I'm hoping to convert her and allay her fears.

The knuckles then act like a guide for the knife. Simple really.

I'm not going to get more suggestive than I have. I'll just say I'm glad the fingers have their place.

They are there to guide the tool, to grease it's path if you will. Looks like I couldn't help myself.
