DH says this is gross

[Bownus]

Snipped open the plastic on a pizza with kitchen scissors. Then used same scissors to cut the pizza into slices. DH actually said this was “vile and unsanitary” as the plastic could have been exposed to anything.

I’ll admit that for things like this I’m on the more disgusting end of the spectrum and he’s on the more disgusted but I honestly thought this was uncontroversial?

Id never do that. Ur husband was right.

I can't apply enough pressure with a pizza cutter

Your comfort or discomfort is your own responsibility. No one 'makes' you feel something. Its quite a controlling concept that someone has to change their own behaviour to suit you feeling 'uncomfortable'.

I am definitely cutting my next pizza with scissors. Usually half cut and half pull apart with a knife. Don't have a pizza wheel. Hands and scissors will be washed, of course. My mother once dropped a whole Yorkshire pudding onto the kitchen floor. She picked it up, popped it back into the dish, winked at me said "What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over". It was very tasty. 😊

I use a knife to cut the package and later the pizza. Complete philistine here 😁. Scissors sounds interesting though, could have really used that idea a few years ago when we had toddlers and babies.

I'd only use clean kitchen shears. If you've used them to open the pizza packaging, I'd at least give then a quick wipe and rinse at the sink before using them on the finished pizza.

I’d make sure they were cleaned first. My mum always uses scissors and I think it’s a really good idea for quickly cutting the thin crust ready made pizzas which she serves up all the grandchildren when we get together. I use a pizza cutter because that’s my preference.

My scissors have a bit for chopping herbs in

Oxo good grips

You were cutting a pizza not performing a surgical proceedure.

Hope he does all the cleaning with him having such high standards!

Oh God. Life's far too short for that rubbish.

I would simply respond with "Well we survived didn't we?"

Kitchen scissors get washed when you wash up, like other utensils are.

And they are great for cutting pizza.

Well we're all different

The only problem you might have (apart from your husband) is if you didn't wash your scissors after cutting the pizza. Did you cut the pizza before you cooked it ?otherwise you were risking severely burnt fingers ? Or is there a technique I'm missing out on ?. Melted cheese if left to go cold on the scissors would probably glue them shut. Sorry for going on, minds boggling a bit....

@FatAgainItsLettuceTime that will probably the scissor that rattle about in the same drawer along with the forks and knives that he probably uses to eat his dinner with lol

This. The fact that the scissors were possibly used on other things before being cleaned to cut the pizza grosses me out. The plastic doesn't really bother me, I guess as long as it was inside a box.

I think the anti scissors people are assuming that it's any old pair of scissors - I use kitchen scissors that are earmarked for kitchen (food) use and are washed like any other knife/pizza cutter/cooking utensil. So it's no different hygiene wise to using any other knife/whatever to cut something up. I don't think the plastic wrapping on a pizza is going to do me any mischief, so using them to cut that first is not a big deal to me.

You just slide the scissors under the pizza, like a dressmakers cloth. No need for the complications you suggest. It's easy and makes less washing up. The pizza goes on less surfaces, so it's more hygenic. Toppings don't slip.

It's fun. I'd give it a go before criticising it.

Also, do all the people who are horrified by the supposedly lax hygiene of using scissors to cut a pizza realised that the chopping board they cut their pizza on has more germs on than a toilet seat.

I'm somewhere in the middle with this.

I can't see a problem from a hygiene point of view, but why would you cut a pizza before cooking it?

The same sponge?!? Now that gives me the heebie jeebies!

I can’t get over why you would cut up a pizza with scissors 😂

Oh give over. If I offer to make someone a boiled egg and they say they prefer soft or hard to my medium preference I don't start telling them their comfort pertaining to egg hardness is their responsibility. If I'm cooking for them I imagine I like them enough to care how they like their food. It's not controlling to have food preferences whether that be clean utensils, boiled eggs or brands.

And I don't know why you've said 'makes', I didn't.

Oh I see the makes. It's not hard to offer comfort for the sake of a chopping board.

Is he always that weird?
