Septentrional Wasp Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 FAKE NEWS ALERTDon't be fooled by scum trying to cash in on the movement. Regular scissors will suffice. Right Or left handed scissors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And more to the point a 30° angle is generally too acute to maintain structural integrity for all but the thinnest crunchiest pizzas with the most miserly toppings.

Kennboy1978 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Tbh, I've never even considered using scissors to cut a pizza. Those pizza cutters are shite... they're difficult to use no matter what surface the pizza is on. Also, the topics tend to go wherever, and you end up with some slices half bald, and others piled high with topics. Next time I eat a pizza, I will use scissors to cut it and report back with my results. Leave the pizza out the oven for 5 mins to let the cheese solidify slightly, that will make the pizza easier to cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're shite because you can't sharpen them so they quickly become so blunt that they squash and bend their way through the toppings There are similar problems with these b*****ds and even more so with the two bladed versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dindeleux Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 James May or Stephen Fry or someone did a show on this and they concluded that a lighter was the best ever invention. Instant fire which was something that had alluded mankind for many thousands of years.For me it's the internet porn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Once again P&B comes to the rescue for me, as improbable as it is to believe I would ever be in the situation with another person, any disbelief or disgust I would feel towards someone trying to cut up a pizza with a pair of scissors has been mitigated. Frantic guffawing at someone unable to use a pizza cutter might still happen though. How hard is it to run a wheel across what's effectively a big bit of toast and cheese?

Let me clarify. When I said difficult to use, I meant difficult to use effectively. Applying just the right amount of pressure so that it cuts cleanly through the base, but doesn't damage the surface underneath - is a bit of a dark art.

Also, a pizza slicer pretty much only has one use and how do you even sharpen them? Scissors ticks all these boxes. I should really go out and buy a pizza just to try this theory out, just in case it turns out that scissors are shite for cutting pizzas and I'm left with egg on my face.

So we've got 2 means of slicing up a pizza (assuming that we can discount a serrated knife which is crap). 1. PIZZA CUTTER Assuming you have one. Remove pizza from oven. Wait 5 minutes for cheese to solidify. Place on chopping board. Cut. Serve. 2. (SHARP) SCISSORS Remove from oven. Cut. Serve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
