Kitchen Shears: A Neat Little Tool
Kitchen 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 Time
Whether 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.
