Why You Should Own a Good Kitchen Scissors

Everyone always seems to be talking about knives. Granted, a great knife is a kitchen must have, there are some things that are just easier with a pair of scissors. Here's why you should have a great pair of scissors. One thing I love them for is to chop foods like bacon easily. Sure, you could use a knife, but why not just take a bunch of bacon and snip it directly into the pot or pan you're cooking in? Then there are things like filleting chicken breasts - Super easy with scissors, a little harder if you're using a knife. Another great idea is to use scissors to shred your salads. Place leaves like lettuce or spinach (rinsed) in the bowl you plan to use, and then simply snip them in the bowl. Much simpler and less clean up than chopping them the conventional way. The same goes for herbs – simply snip directly into the pot.
