Looks a bit flaky to me.
Are all the little bits lying around rust ?

Hinge should be on the 'SMOOTH' side.

Cut thriugh the smooth side, DO NOT cut right through as this will break it and cause contents to spill out from both the near and off side.

Its generally excepted that after cutting as per above, rotate in hand so hinge is at bottom and the cut is gaping open and uppermost, this way more content can be inserted and small round products(onions etc) will be less inclined to overspill,

I could go on with more refined detail but would need another glass of refreshment
