What Is That Weird Toothed Part on Kitchen Scissors For? (Spoiler: It’s a Secret Multi-Tool!)

Pro tips for using the notch properly

– Choose scissors with metal teeth rather than plastic for better grip.
– Clean the toothed area well after use – tiny food bits love to hide in there.
– Avoid using it on very large jar lids or thick metal caps that could bend the scissors.
– Use leverage: brace the scissors against the counter or your body to get more controlled force.

Used correctly, that notch will last for years and handle a lot more than just the occasional jar.
