It might be time to put the decorate Christmas nutcrackers away for another year, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop snacking!
The center of the scissors has also been described as the perfect tool to remove the shell from nuts, with one savvy Redditor writing: “Everything’s a nut cracker if you try hard enough.”
Breaking bones and claws
If you might need to break up a carcass to fit into a pot to make stock. The middle of the scissors provides a good way to crack through the material – even if it is unnerving to think about.
On that note, one Redditor added: “Also, they are great for cracking lobster claws.”
Some surprising uses
After hearing that the grips could be used to remove the tops from boiled eggs, one person commented: “What the f**k!?!? You have changed my life!!”
Another person recommended the tool as a ‘garlic crusher’, while a third suggested it could be used to ‘cut metal wire’.
