One of my pairs of kitchen scissors broke a few weeks back. Not as in broke
into pieces but something got sort of off kilter or something and they were
sticking but apart. They were old. So I bought a pair of the Betty Crocker
ones when I was in Dollar Tree.

I tried to use them to cut up the meat for the Easter pies. But they
wouldn't cut it. In the past I have used a knife to cut the meat and cheese
but some of the meat is greasy and it makes for a slippery mess. I wound up
using the Betty scissors to hold the meat while using a different pair of
scissors to cut it.

I can't really complain about the Betty scissors as they were only a dollar
and they will cut other things. Apparently just not slippery, fatty,
Italian meats.

I predict that cutting meats with scissors will be a popular trend shortly. It is one that that will change how we serve meats and other foods.

Soon Boveworld won't need a kitchen knife or scisors; just stick the
meat carrots or onions on their hair with mayo and the hairdresser will
do the cutting.

The Koreans are the wild n' crazy, high-energy, high-speed, Asians that will be trend-setters at least for the next decade. They are a technology and trend driven society. They're like a country on crystal meth.

As far as shears being used at the dining table goes - it makes sense to me. Using half a scissors and scraping it on a plate to cut meat seems pretty inefficient to me. A pair of scissors works a lot better.

I learned the scissor trick from a caregiver. Works much better and quicker
than a knife when a person needs their food to be minced up.

Even with very sharp knife, room temp meat can be too loose (and
greasy) to cut as you want to. Best way to cut raw meat with a knife
is to have it semi-frozen. It's very firm but still soft enough to
slice through with no problem.

I know you will discount this method but it works well for me.

Exactly! I used to do this with portions of flank steak. Freeze them then defrost in the microwave to just barely still frozen, then slice very thin across the grain. I used to do this for breakfasts when I was living in my minivan Baby down by he river over 1/2 my weeks back in the Spring of 2003! Epic Spring for me! I kayaked a LOT of whitewater that Spring! I'd put the sliced up flank steak in individual servings in small Ziploc bags, all peppered up with spices and a little Worchestershire, then refreeze for my cooler for steak and eggs breakfasts by the river! YUM!

She won't disagree since she was raised by a Korean woman. My wife is the one that taught me of the ways of the Koreans. She told me that her brother once ate a gallon of fresh kim chee that her mom made. She recalls him lying on the kitchen floor, in pain, unable to move. I told her that maybe it's what killed him 50 years later. She agreed.

I couldn't go back and uncook the meat. They were cold cuts.
