No kitchen is complete without high-quality kitchen scissors, but did you know you’re probably not using this tool to the best of your ability? In addition to opening up packages and cutting herbs, veggies, bacon, and other foods, kitchen shears come with a long list of alternative uses that you’re probably not aware of.
Cutting Through Hard Foods
It’s a pretty much no-brainer you can use kitchen scissors to cut everything from homemade pasta to pizza slices, but they can also come in handy with some hard foods that never crossed your mind, from chicken or turkey bones to lobster shells.
Nutcracker
You know those metal-teeth grippers on your kitchen shears? Well, it turns out they’re not there just for decoration! They come with a long list of impressive functions that never crossed your mind, and they can double down as a nutcracker, helping you open a wide range of nuts without breaking a sweat.
Jar Opener
The metal-teeth grippers inside the handles of your kitchen scissors can also help you open stubborn jars. You can simply latch the teeth grippers onto the cap, and pop open pretty much any jar with a quick twist.
Bottle Opener
In addition to helping you open jars, metal-teeth grippers will do wonders with beer and soda bottles. If you have a habit of losing your bottle openers all the time, you can count on your kitchen shears to come to the rescue.
