8. Use a bagel cutter

Some say necessity is the mother of invention. Consider the bagel holding device that allows you to evenly cut a bagel quite safely and evenly in half. There had to be a need. From my point of view, the evenness and equality of the two sections doesn’t matter so much, but the wounds to the non-dominant hand that can be prevented are important to keep one out of the ED. Also, be particularly careful if the bagel is still stiffly frozen.
