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 do know they sell kitchen scissors for this purpose, you sometimes get them with the knife set in the blocks with the block.
Im assuming they’re not the same ones for the sellotape and glitter

I would do that. Anyone who hasn't cut up pizza with scissors should try it.

How is it more efficient than sliding the pizza off the tray and on to a breadboard, and then just running the pizza cutter over it?

I can't see this working on home made pizza with fresh ingredients. It'll just make a mess.

Scissors? To cut pizza? I can't get over this. I wouldn't chop spinach or slice mushrooms with scissors either!

Very rarely wash it, probably once in so many years we might put it in the dishwasher

Only ever had one problem with the base going floppy through the rack.

How does that work, cutting slices of hot pizza with scissors? How do you hold the pizza to cut it? You can just cut pizza on a flat surface using a pizza cutter but I don't see how it's easier to use scissors, wouldn't you burn the hand that holds the pizza whilst it's being cut? Or do you wait till the pizza's cold before cutting it?

If any life risking lurgy lives on that pizza after you've cooked it at 220C then you'll probably be up for the Nobel Prize in discovering thermo-resistant organisms.

If you have raw chicken on your pizza and then lick the scissors you might want to exercise caution.

@MrsTerryPratchett I guess they must be

I don't hold the pizza. I put it on the plate and then just cut it with the scissors with one hand.

What? You re-wash your kitchen things right before using them, even though they were washed and put in the drawer after they were last used ( which was probably only the previous day anyway!)

But you were more than likely about to cook it at 200 degrees for 20-30 minutes, no?

I grip the dry edge of the crust with my left hand and snip with the right.

I feel also like scissors will be wonky slices. I can’t deal with that.

Microplastics, dummy

They'll be on the pizza anyway.

But surely she's cutting the pizza after cooking it. not before!

Never thought about it really. I guess you could say there’s a small chance that another shopper could have touched a tiny bit of the plastic through the cardboard whilst the pizza was in the chiller cabinet in the supermarket 🤷‍♀️ It’s not something that’s ever crossed my mind though tbh and i’m sure the heat in the oven killed any germs.

How is it better than just cutting the pizza flat?

I'm so cack-handed arthritic I would manage to both burn myself and make a pig's ear of it.

Well that’s your mistake then because o jtt it at pop my scissors in the dishwasher after I’ve used them on food (pizza, bacon, other stuff) so problem solved. I’m assuming the op didn’t lick the scissors clean last time she used them on a pizza.

anyway, that’s not the issue. The dh thought cutting packaging then food with the sage utensil was gross. Not scissors per se

For all the doubters- my pizza scissor cutting is performed post cooking, while still hot, on both shop bought and home made pizzas using kitchen scissors which are washed after use, like our pizza cutter, which DH occasionally prefers.

Pizza sits on plate, like a previous poster I lift the edge slightly at the crust with my left hand and cut towards the middle.

My MIL uses scissors, tried it once, meh.
I do bleach my pizza before eating it though for hygiene reasons. Just a quick squirt.

Because it stops the topping dragging across the pizza and saves on washing up (you can cut it on the plate)

What you did was normal ish, apart from using a scissors to cut pizza, isn't that a nightmare?
I am now going to have nightmares forever about the hundreds of pop cans I haven't wiped down before drinking from 😥

The top doesn't drag when you have a good sharp cutter, though. It cuts right through cleanly. How does it save on washing up?
