A Reddit post sparked curiosity about the jagged metal part in the center of kitchen scissors. Users quickly revealed its various uses, such as gripping and opening tight bottle lids, cracking lobster claws, breaking up carcasses for stock,
and even removing boiled egg tops. Some suggested using it as a garlic crusher or to cut metal wire. It’s also great for cracking nuts, with one user joking, “Everything’s a nut cracker if you try hard enough.” While some raised safety concerns, others pointed out that using the tool carefully can prevent accidents.
