Some scissors use their teeth to cut aluminum foil seals or grab bottle caps.

How to use:

Use the edges to tear foil from wine bottles or spice jars.

Grab the edge of a stubborn bottle cap for leverage.

A small tool with great utility.

Bonus tricks you didn’t know about

Cutting thick plastic packaging

First, use the prongs to pierce, then cut with the blades.

Break the stems of the aromatic herbs

Crush woody stems (like rosemary) to release their aroma.

Open stubborn shells

Use the prongs to open closed plastic containers.

Emergency handle for slippery lids

It works like a rubber can opener, but integrated.

How to keep it clean and safe

This tool comes into contact with food, so clean it thoroughly.

Advice:

Wash by hand or in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Dry thoroughly to prevent rust (especially on metal prongs).

Never force: light pressure is sufficient.

Avoid using it on hot pans and sharp edges, which can damage the prongs.

Summary: The best tools are the ones you already own.

We buy gadgets.

We clutter our drawers.

We are looking for the “perfect” tool.

But the truth is that:

Some of the smartest kitchen tools are already in your hands.

And that tooth on your kitchen scissors?

It’s no coincidence.

It’s an ingenious design: a little Swiss Army knife hidden in plain sight.

So next time you’re struggling with a jar, cracking nuts or crushing garlic…

Don’t take five utensils.

Take the kitchen scissors.

Because sometimes the difference between “I need a gadget” and “I have one”…

It’s not in the drawer.

It’s in the scissors.

And once you’ve learned the secrets?

You might wonder how you ever cooked without it before.
