Get a Frogg Togg chilly pad, it works well and you don’t have to freeze it first.

best part about working in a production brewery in the summer was the ability to just go stand in either of the huge coolers we had and just cool off. i feel this.

A coworker brought in a couple neck fans. Total game changer.

I see freezer pops

This has been me all weekend, keep two in there so you can swap out when one of them defrosts

I would always have two going so one would be freezing while I’m wearing the other one

lmao just got a text from my gf “did you remember your neck towel?” then saw this.

I used to work in a pan Asian place in a desert and those poor guts working the 6 woks would get so hot, one of the dish guys would swap out the towels every 15 minutes for them. Crazy to watch someone drink insane amounts of water and never have to pee because it’s all sweating out.
Also seems like air quality and temperature control is never a priority for kitchen design. You would think it wouldn’t be that hard to get a proper exhaust fan to pull the heat out and ac to pull cold in. It’s inhumane to make people work in 90+ degree humid kitchens. Really surprised more people don’t get health issues from it but I guess the industry weeds the weak people out quickly.
Plus having grease all over you on top of it.
Godspeed everyone, take care of yourselves, it’s only a meal at the the of the day, not like we are trying to save lives or something.

I worked at a seasonal private club as pastry baker and could beat the heat on an extra warm day until about 11 am when the sun came around the building and started the heat. Not as bad as you all who are on the line, but just very uncomfortably warm.
My strategy – I wore black cotton pants and a black tee. Would go upstairs to Staff quarters and step into the shower, fully clothed. Get completely wet; towel off just so not sopping or dripping; put apron on and go back to hot kitchen. Evaporation kept me comfortable for at least 2 hours.
Before the comments of a female in a wet tee 😁 the black didn’t show anything.

Did we run out of baguettes?

Wait a minute. I thought we weren’t allowed to jerk off in the cooler! What the hell?!

I put small blue ice packs in a neck gaiter. Yes, I’m fancy.
You can also put them in pockets to avoid the condition known as jungle crotch.

Actually never tried this method before. To much forethought.

I slam so much water and can’t leave the line for four-five hours at a time. Cooking in the summer is truly an Olympic sport

I got heat stroke working two big grills in July when it was 102F. Ever since then it’s been easier to get heat exhaustion.
Don’t kill yourself for a job.

I offered my coworker one, and he said it was “too frozen.” Oki pookie, I will happily use them up 🥲 I threw one under my hat and around my neck 10/10
boobookee
I made myself one of these and forgot about it until it was time to close. I pulled it out and tried to bend it to neck shape and it snapped clean in half. Next time I’ll shape it before freezing lmao.

Ah tis the season. We did this once when AC wouldn’t work. Kept towels rotating for everybody. GM said we couldn’t do it because it wasn’t part of the uniform. As soon as he left, we would make fresh ones. We were trying to survive!

I don’t know how y’all do it. Our high today on the Oregon coast is 60 degrees.

I prefer the frozen hat

And they become nunchucks when you melt them where the neck is. Perfect reprisal for the guy who keeps whipping you with a towel.

At the bakery there was a shift where we kept putting our oven mitts in the walk in between flipping trays of cupcakes, otherwise even through two pairs of gloves it felt like it was burning our hands ;-;

~$7 on amazon.
The rigid ones are even cheaper.
