Kitchen Shears Video

Hey check these out.  They look like scissors right? Well these are actually called kitchen shears and they are great tool to have in the home kitchen.

Kitchen shears are designed slightly different than traditional scissors in that the pivot point has more force to snap through small bones. They also come in many different designs.

I like the off-set blade design which helps for cutting at different angles.  This rounded raised blade and opposite concave makes it similar to a pruning tool. This makes cutting through bone much easier. I also recommend take apart kitchen shears for easier cleaning.

Finally, a good pair of kitchen shears will feel heavy for their size.  I recommend going to a cutlery store to see what you like best.  Don't spend top dollar on you home shears.  A good mid-range shear will last in your home for years.
