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

1. Open stubborn jar lids

Stuck pickle jar or spice lid? The toothed notch can give you the extra grip you’re missing.

How to use it:

– Close the scissors just enough so the teeth line up.
– Place the notch around the edge of the lid.
– Squeeze the handles to clamp down and twist.

The metal teeth bite into the lid, adding torque and making it easier to break the seal, especially on smaller jars or vacuum-sealed tops.
