Why You Need Kitchen Scissors
You say you have a good pair of sewing scissors? Good. Keep them in your sewing box and out of the kitchen. Trying to cut a bone, snip herbs, or open a clamshell package with your sewing scissors will quickly dull the blades. Kitchen shears such as these Kitchen Aid All-Purpose Shears are designed for heavy duty cutting and are made of harder steel which is why every serious cook needs a pair in his/her utensil drawer.
Why Home Cooks are Loving These Kitchen Scissors
When an item has a 4.7-star rating with over 2,000 five-star reviews, you know you need to take a look at why everyone is raving.
Shoppers love these scissors because of the stainless steel blades that can cut through kitchen twine, bones, meats, and vegetables. The blades resist rusting, so a lot of cooks put them in the dishwasher, although handwashing is recommended.
The handles have a soft-grip coating and are roomy and comfortable, allowing those with arthritic hands and fingers to manipulate the shears with little pain. Some shoppers also noted that the scissors seem ambidextrous, a plus if you have both left-handed and right-handed people in the family.
Almost every reviewer commented on the price of the scissors, remarking that it seemed too low for such a quality pair of shears. At the low price of $10, you may want to buy more than one pair.
