Whisking is whisky business.

Literally 2 weeks ago, a coworker asked if I’ve ever seen a whisk explode and described it as being like a champagne cork. I had never, in my 25 years in kitchens, heard of or seen this happen–and now you post this. Wild.

Great. You stuck the handle up your line cooks ass one too many times, and now you have pink eye. This is why we can’t have nice things people!!!

Well that’s a new one. Congratulations! You’ve discovered the number 100 thousand billionth way to get hurt in a kitchen.

Actual answer for anyone who’s curious and doesn’t already know- water that was trapped inside the handle (likely got there when it was last washed) heated up into steam when the whisk got hot, building enough pressure to pop the cap off the end.
It’s loud and it hurts if you get hit. Also hilarious.

Seen it happen once like 10 years ago. Sounded like a gunshot.

Water gets in the handle and that turned to stream that turned you to a one eyed cook

Whisky business is the name of a restaurant a friend of mine opened in Chicago.

Eye doctor here.
If you notice ANY changes in your vision or if you’re experiencing any pain, please go to an eye doctor and not the ER

We had the top of a whisk blow off after being left in a big pot of stock that was bubbling on the stove. Heard a huge bang and couldn’t figure out what’s it was. The ring in the cap was embedded in the overhead duct.

Should be scrambling for an ice pack.

I fcking hate whisks. They are a pain to clean. The handles get filled with dirty water and then release it whenever you are using or, if they get too hot, they explode like it happened here.
Handle filled with water + Boiling Temperatures = Steam = Handle Exploding
10 years cooking and I’m still to find a whisk that I actually like

Hey that’s a good worker’s comp case if I ever seen one

Yet he sets them back onto a heat source, get ready for round 2 🤣

This happened to me with a pot of custard and a whisk. Luckily it didn’t hit anyone but did travel 10/12ft before hitting a wall.
Scared the crap out of me

I’m also gonna start looking at all the whisks with a side eye now in our kitchen. Can’t trust these unhinged bastards apparently 😒

Trapped water in the handle boils and causes this. At least that’s what happened to the one I had. I noticed a small amount of water and steam when mine popped off and went sailing.

Remove it or drill a hole in the end cap of the other one to prevent the same happening again. It it pops off while noone’s looking it might even end up in some food.
