The Hidden Power of Your Kitchen Scissors
Have you ever noticed the jagged, toothed section near the hinge of your kitchen scissors and wondered what it’s for? It may look like a small design detail, but that clever feature is far more useful than most people realize.
🔧 A Built-In Nutcracker & Bottle Opener
That serrated notch—often called a nutcracker or bottle grip—is designed to handle tough tasks with ease:
-
Crack hard shells: Walnuts, hazelnuts, and even crab legs
-
Open bottle caps: Slip the cap into the notch and lift
-
Grip stubborn packaging: Perfect for clamshells and vacuum-sealed bags
How it works: Place the nut or bottle cap in the notch, squeeze the handles, and let the focused pressure do the hard work for you.
