Professional Kitchen Scissors Heavy Duty Cooking Scissors Made from Stainless Steel and Light Weight Household Necessity All-Purpose Shears Sharp Blades

Product Information

The detachable blades come apart for easy cleaning or sharpening and are dishwasher safe. Made in China. Because we know that there’s nothing like a real recommendation from a real parent, we first headed to the Mumsnet forums to find out which kitchen scissors discerning Mumsnet users had bought for their homes. You may wish to consider the size of the handle on your shears too, to ensure it is a good fit for your own hand size and shape. Most kitchen shears give detailed dimensions for this purpose. Separating blades

Even though some shears are advertised by the manufacturer as dishwasher safe, it’s best practice to hand wash the shears, blades detached, with warm, soapy water.

These shears excelled at cutting herbs. We used them to chop down some chives for garnish and the cuts were neat without much bruising. The cutter blade is sharp and the blades are held together with a medium tension at the fulcrum, which resulted in improved maneuverability. While they aren't technically dishwasher safe, we ran them through a few cycles anyway and found they didn't lose any sharpness.

Some pairs come equipped with spring-loaded action that automatically pushes the handles apart after a cut. Make sure to take a look at how much maintenance the scissors require. Some models are dishwasher safe, while others must be hand-washed immediately after use. Furthermore, the blade material is a good indication of how often your scissors will need resharpening; forged stainless steel is known for maintaining its edge over many uses. Shears with blades that can be separated completely are the easiest to maintain in terms of cleaning and sharpening. Note that more difficult cutting jobs will dull your blades faster, and that not every knife sharpener is compatible with scissor blades. Shun is one of the biggest names in high-quality knives, so it's no surprise they make a great pair of herb shears. Since herbs are so delicate and usually small, having small, easily maneuverable blades makes any herb task much more manageable. Where many herbs shears falter, however, is the hand holds. However, small blades and delicate tasks don't necessarily mean the hands using them are small, too. Shun got the memo and made the handholds large and narrow, giving you as much control as possible when clipping herbs. There's even a tiny notch in between the hand holes for stripping herbs. The sharp, curved blades are made of high-quality stainless steel that makes deep, clean cuts and a notch secures bones in place for clean precision work.We asked a panel of four, two left-handers and two right-handers, to put these scissors to the test in these everyday kitchen tasks:
