Kitchen Shears: A Neat Little ToolKitchen shears are similar to common scissors. The chief difference between scissors and kitchen shear, shears is where the pivot is situated. Your Henckels shears have the pivot situated farther from the handles to give you more leverage and thus more cutting power. High quality shears like Calphalon and Wusthof can slice through the breastbone of a chicken with no trouble. We don’t often need Anolon or NapaStyle shears, with the convenience of supermarkets providing chicken parts. Precut chicken parts, however, are often not uniform in shape and size, thus affecting the quality of your food presentation. They also contain bits of shattered bone, and are not as cheap as buying a whole chicken. To cut up a chicken all you really need is a sturdy cutting board and a pair of Henckels International or Emerilware from Wusthof shears. If you’ve never used shears, get a pair from Kershaw or Chicago Cutlery now! Joyce Chen and Kuhn Rikon also make great shears, perfect for clipping herbs, cubing dried tomatoes and other fruits, and trimming piecrusts. Chef’s Choice And Zyliss Save You TimeWhether you buy discount shears or designer shears, they are the best tools for cutting fresh green beans into pieces. They’re cheap and time saving, and you can cut more than one bean at a time. Another unique way to use your shears is in your kitchen herb garden. Or you can package seeds from your herb garden, together with helpful gardening tools like a watering can, gloves, and of course a pair of Henckels or Calphalon shears as a custom made gift to someone you love.
