The Hidden Multi-Tool Built Into Your Kitchen Scissors
Hidden Kitchen Tool
Many people overlook the small ridged section near the handles of kitchen scissors.
“This toothed area may seem decorative at first glance,
but it’s actually a cleverly designed multi-tool.”
Jar and Cap Helper
The ridges interlock to create a strong, non-slip grip,
making it easier to open stubborn jars or twist-off caps
. This reduces hand strain and adds traction for tight or slippery lids.
Versatile Uses
Beyond jars, it can crack nuts, grip twist-ties, seals,
and small packaging tabs. On poultry shears,
it can even help break small chicken bones, speeding up kitchen prep.
Smart Design
Manufacturers add this feature for convenience and multifunctionality,
especially in kitchens with limited storage.
With proper use, “this often-ignored feature transforms your kitchen scissors
into a dependable little multi-tool.”
