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?

You're going to burn the shit out of it at 240 degrees

Well presumably op used the scissors after the pizza was cooked but I still don't see a problem

I think cutting a pizza with scissors is definitely the strangest thing I have read today. I am not a germophobe or anything, but as you ask, yes I think it was pretty unhygienic, assuming these are not your dedicated “food scissors” that are washed after each use.

Did you not even lick the scissors clean first? 😱

What?! You can use a pizza cutter with the pizza on a plate!

You don’t cut pizza with scissors that’s the weird part.

YABU for cutting pizza with scissors.

YANBU re hygiene.

You can’t use a pizza cutter to cut a pizza on a plate! The plate is too small for the whole pizza how would you do it?

I would have no issue with this. Your DH is batshit.

What did you cook the pizza on? And please don’t say the bare wire rack.

I have food scissors! For the ends of spring onions and pizza and stuff. Not for packaging though, those ones have black handles. I didn't realise I was weird

Your DH is now the designated pizza opener, cooker and cutter for ever. Maybe get him pizza shears for Christmas.

I’ve got a bit of carbon steel that lives in the oven and functions like a pizza stone.

He's OTT. I'm a bit with stuff like that but wouldn't bother with that. I also use scissors all the time in the kitchen. Pizza, garlic bread. I cut meat with them for meals. Never chop chicken breast just snip chunks. The list goes on.

Pizza with scissors is sensible- it is pointless to buy a whole utensil like a pizza cutter that has only one purpose, when scissors cut pizza just as effectively and can do many other things with them- such as opening the plastic wrapper around that ftozen pizza.
Your husband is being weird.

I hate been converted by Korean chefs. They use scissors for everything! Herbs, noodles, steak. Bloody brilliant. Try it.

Yanbu. Spray his pizza with dettol before serving. Job done.

Cut the pizza on a chopping board with a pizza cutter and then just serve it straight from the chopping board.

Back to the original question, Your husband is weird.

He can always make his own dinner

I like cutting pizza with scissors. Much easier than a pizza cutter!!

do you wash knives, forks and spoons that have been in a drawer before you use them?

My answer to that is no, but I do wash cutlery after use. Whereas the scissors do not get washed after use and in fact have been washed only once or twice ever.

That’s how I do it too. Like a family buffet when we have junk foods.

Technically, I can see that he’s right, but practically, I’m on Team OP.

Those of you questioning scissors for pizza have obviously never tried it. Sooooooo much easier.

YABU for cutting a pizza with scissors, that's... odd. 😅
