2. Nut Cracker (For Almonds, Walnuts, or Pecans)

• How to use: Place a nut in the groove and gently squeeze
• Cracks shells without crushing the inside
• Perfect for quick prep when you don’t want to find the nutcracker

🥜 Try it with walnuts for baking or snacking.

3. Bottle Opener (For Metal Lids)

• Some scissors have a notch on one side of the teeth
• Slide it under the edge of a bottle cap (like beer or soda)
• Lift up to pop the cap off

✅ A party trick that actually works.

4. Grip Enhancer (For Slippery Tasks)

• Use the toothed section to hold down slippery items while cutting
• Great for securing plastic packaging, foil, or stubborn herb stems
• The ridges act like mini non-slip pads

✂️ Keeps your fingers safe and your food steady.
