A Reddit post recently went viral, sparking curiosity about the jagged metal part in the center of kitchen scissors. Many users chimed in, sharing its clever uses beyond simple cutting tasks.
The jagged section is handy for gripping and opening tight bottle lids, cracking lobster claws, and breaking down carcasses for stock. Some even use it for removing boiled egg tops or crushing garlic.
Creative suggestions included cutting metal wire or cracking nuts, with one user humorously noting, “Everything’s a nutcracker if you try hard enough.”
While some raised safety concerns, others emphasized that careful use of this versatile tool can prevent accidents, highlighting its practicality in the kitchen.
