Kitchen knife sets often include scissors. They are an indispensable and sought-after item in the kitchen.

There is only one thing that is not clear: what are the metal teeth on the handle of the scissors for? Let's find out how to use them correctly and in what situation.

Why do kitchen scissors have teeth?

Most housewives use scissors to open food packaging, and some have learned to cut off the dorsal fins when cutting fish.

As for the cloves, you might think that they are needed to crack nuts. However, anyone who has tried to do this will say that this thing is useless.

The remaining serrations on the handles of the scissors were never used, and completely in vain.

Those who use scissors when cutting fish and meat are right.

But they don’t just cut off the fins and other unnecessary parts, but use the device as a clamp.

By clamping the fishtail between the teeth, you can use the scissors as a retainer.

This will prevent the fish from slipping, but will still free up your hand.

You can do the same when cutting up a leg or other part of a meat carcass.
