We went into the jelly test unsure as to what the result should be since it seemed like an easy enough substance to cut. However, we did come out with a clear winner, as you will see.

First to step up was the Pizza Cutter, which made harder work of the jelly than we’d initially expected, cutting reasonably cleanly but leaving a few bits hanging off and dropping some aesthetics points in the process.

The result was passable but disappointing given the Pizza Cutter’s past performances. Rob was so upset that he ate a cube before we could get a photo in.

We're one cube missing

The Scissors made cleaner cuts, although an aerial technique was required to get the desired purchase on the jelly. This would have left dirty fingerprints had we not washed our hands beforehand (remember that, kids).

We've given our photographer a verbal warning for missing the action by a split-second

The result? Cleaner, more cube-like cubes, with greater food retention and a higher aesthetic rating.

Looks like you could eat it, doesn't it

So, it’s a victory for the Scissors, bringing the tally to 7-5 in favour of the Pizza Cutter with three to play. It’s not over yet…

Thanks to Mark for the jelly idea.
