Sugar nips
Sugar nips are a large pair of pincers with sharp blades, designed to cut raw sugar.〔David, Elizabeth. "English Bread and Yeast Cookery", Penguin:Middlesex 1977 (p. 139)〕 Before the introduction of granulated and cube sugars in the second half of the 19th century,〔"Sugar: a Handbook for Planters and Refiners", Lock & Newlands Bros, pub. Spon, London, 1888〕 the domestic consumer purchased sugar in the form of a sugarloaf, or at least a part of one, and pieces were cut from it by hand using sugar nips.〔()〕 Greater leverage and improved safety was provided by heavier sugar nips set in a wooden base for counter and table-top use.
There was also an all-in-one version; a box that could serve as container for the sugarloaf with built-in pliers and collector drawer for fine-grained residues from the sugar cutting.
