Chop Tomatoes with Scissors

Okay, this one is ingenious and it’s for EVERYONE. Using scissors to cut something? I mean, it’s not exactly outside the box, but it blew my mind the first time I saw someone cutting their kids’ pizza into little pieces. How did I never think of this before? How many times had I painfully tried to cut pizza into little bits with a fork and knife? Sigh. Scissors and food? It’s elementary, and yet, revolutionary.

It took my Smart husband a bit to acquiesce to this technique because he was worried about the scissors not getting clean enough. But all of you Classics and Funs worry not. They actually design kitchen scissors to separate easily so they can get super clean.

And the uses are endless. Tomatoes, greens, chicken (cooked or raw) meat. I mean, it really is endless. We highly recommend getting special kitchen scissors to work with food. That way all the different types don’t have to fight or worry about bacteria and cross contamination.

Best for All

I had the hardest time cutting off fins and tails from fish fillets. It seemed like they were made of steel....until I used SCISSORS! And scissors are easier to manage if you have arthritis in your thumbs.
