What is the weird space in scissors really for?

Some cooking enthusiasts go even further: they use this part to open bottles, cut the top of a soft-boiled egg cleanly, or break crab claws with precision. This turns your scissors into a true multi-purpose cutting tool.

And if you have kids who love boiled eggs, you know that cutting the hat cleanly without splashing takes a certain amount of help. Your scissors can also be much more practical than you think.

A tool you won’t see the same way again

What this little discovery reminds us of is that an everyday object can be smarter than it looks. Kitchen scissors are the perfect example of these underrated utensils, which are used mechanically without really exploring their potential.

So, the next time you grab your scissors, look at them with a different eye. Try out their hidden features, have fun testing their possibilities. Even a mundane task can become an opportunity to simplify your daily life.
