Good Question .

You asked , but be careful reading the answer, it might get graphic !

Have you ever heard someone say

“ If you can not stand the heat , stay out of the Kitchen “ ?

Working on your feet under stress in a hot Kitchen.

Getting burned , mostly with hot oil , sometimes with boiling water or hot steam,

requiring some serious medical attention.

Same goes for getting cut , mostly with knives , sometimes with machines requiring stitches or even risking loosing limbs {fingers)

Risk of slip and fall , perhaps injuring or even breaking something.

Sometimes there are faulty equipment's that could ignite ,and blow hot steam right in your face , also stoves or ovens could explode because of a gas leak or the pilots not lit.

As a bonus NO Christmas , New Year , Easter , or any Holidays

with your Family , because you are working

Same goes for evenings , weekends , and don’t even think of vacation around the busy time of the year.

So it’s not as easy as you see it on TV .

This answer covers only the basics , hope that helps to answer you
