DH says this is gross

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?

They cut cartons, packaging, paper, cardboard, thin plastic, foam etc just fine. They're sharp. They're less than a year old.

But when cutting pizza, they pull cheese down into the cut and it's totally impractical with my hand in the way etc etc. Just hated it. Cutter was perfect. It's designed for the job, after all.

So are pizza scissors

I mean technically he's right but... I can't live my life like that. I don't wash the tops of drinks cans either. 😱

I'd never even considered that before! Good point and actually, I think about all the million Starbucks cans of cold coffee I buy at the shop near work with no idea who's touched them... but I won't start cleaning them now, nothing's killed me yet haha.

Well I don't have pizza scissors and I've no need to buy any as I have a pizza wheel that does the job brilliantly.

Please feel free to keep cutting your pizza in the way that works best for you. I've tried it and hated it, so I'll stick to the one that works for me.

I’m desperate to know how you use scissors that it’s causing all this cheese movement and hand trouble!

Sorry, I can't be bothered to create a video. It's just a huge hassle and doesn't work very well.

I don't. But they exist. I don't need your permission to carry on using my scissors thanks. I honestly don't give a hoot how you cut your pizza.

crosstalk · 19/11/2022 17:14

Keep on with the scissors OP and bin the DH. Anyone who says something is "vile" as opposed to "darling, this makes me feel uneasy - can we discuss" - is overreacting especially if they still ate it.

It's just pizza cutting. It's not a personal insult.

Quite. Yet you're still going on about it 😂

Er, only me?

I'm just surprised by this level of defensiveness and offence because I don't get on with your preferred method of...cutting pizza. It's not something one usually sees.

However, since cutting pizza obviously means a lot to you, go ahead and have the last word it.

I'll make my own cut here.

Literally said I don't care. Multiple times.

For someone who apparently doesn't care, you seem quite defensive and hostile.

Really? Where? 😂 I'm finding it amazing how defensive others are getting me and DP have pissed ourselves at this thread.

This is where 3 years of masking up, social distancing and queueing for repeated jabs have landed us.
You could always suggest that, if DH is so vulnerable to germs, he might like to take over the pizza cooking himself and thus guarantee the high level of sanitation he demands?
(Unless he's having his pizza raw, I'd bet the 200 degrees plus temperature inside the oven would have antisepticised his meal.)

Scissors to cut pizza?
If I can't find my pizza cutter I'll use a big knife.
My kitchen Scissors don't get washed too often so they'd be pretty disgusting to use anyway.

Yes but how does she cut pizzas?

NoMoreLifts · 10/06/2023 09:55

I was shown in Sweden to pre bunch of herbs in a cup, stick scissors in and chop like that. Game changer when camping!

Well that's grim. Kitchen scissors go in the dishwasher here after use.

I tend to use a sharp knife to rip into the plastic, and then put the knife back in the drawer!

I'm pushing 40, and have yet to catch some sickening illness from all my unsanitary habits!

ChristmasFluff · 10/06/2023 13:46

My handy life tip is that whenever someone comes up with a mad rule about the way I do something then that becomes their job from that point forward.

I'm very open to helpful tips, but stupid bollocks like how to cut a pizza and what to cut it with? No. That's your job now.

CatsnCoffee · 10/06/2023 19:22

Oops! That’s because I meant to start a new thread!
