I'm not sure about the accuracy of that article. It says that Blumenthal is 24 years old. He's in his mid-40's. Do some better research and confirm the story from a source that knows its ass from a hole in the ground.
Actually, the Irish are just a bunch of dumb idiots.
The headline to the article doesn't match the facts of the article. Blumenthal's hands are just fine. It was some other chef who was using Blumenthal's cooking techniques that lost his hands through stupidity.
Liquid Nitrogen is an extremely volatile substance and proper care should be taken while using it. I am sorry to hear about this Germen chef, hope he recovers soon.
