I love my kitchen shears! I mean love them. I use them all of the time. In fact, I don’t know if I could live – or at least cook – without them.
I thought everyone felt the same way, but then my sister-in-law heard me raving about the many uses of kitchen shears and asked, “What are kitchen shears?” (Gasp!!)
When I explained that they are the scissors that usually come in a knife set, she replied, “Oh, I thought those were just scissors.”
Just scissors!
As I was cutting up boneless chicken breast with my kitchen shears, I decided to abandon my previously scheduled WFMW post in order to extol the virtues of kitchen shears, just in case there are others who, like my sister-in-law, are missing out on this handy kitchen tool.
Kitchen shears make food preparation a snap. They can be used for cutting up meat, such as chicken or sausage. I hate cutting meat, but the shears make it so quick and easy.
Kitchen shears are also great for cutting up vegetables and herbs. I love to use them to snip chives or scallions.
They are also great for cutting up dough for rolls.
There is really no end to what you can use them for, once you get going.
The shears are also great for those impossible-to-open plastic plastic packages that toys and electronics come in. They cut through anything!
As you can tell, I really do love my kitchen shears. I hope that once you start using them, you will too!

I like them too
It actually took *my* SIL to tell me that they could be used on food- I thought they were just scissors that belonged in the knife block to cut open packages and stuff 
I love mine too
They are my favorite scissors cuz they cut anything. Especially raw chicken that is so hard to cut with a knife. And those hard plastic packages. Kitchen shears are the best. My hubby misplaced them once (he thought they were ‘just scissors’ too) and I went nuts lol, until I found them in the junk drawer.
Right on!
