What are Kitchen Shears?
Kitchen shears are extremely strong scissors which are designed specifically for use in the kitchen. The design of a traditional set of scissors is altered slightly for kitchen shears to create a stronger fulcrum which can snap through the breastbone of a chicken just as easily as it can snip open a package of rice. A good quality pair of kitchen shears is a useful thing to have around the kitchen, and many kitchen supply stores stock this basic kitchen tool.
