Jenaluca Herb Scissors - Heavy Duty 5 Blade Kitchen Shears with Safety Cover

Product Information

Herb scissors come in single or multiblade designs. In the latter category, five-blade scissors are the most common, though three-blade herb scissors are also an option. Single-blade herb scissors allow for the most control. They give users the option to choose the size of each slice, an option that is lost with multiblade scissors. This makes them ideal for home cooks who want more flexibility. They’re smaller and more slender than culinary shears, so they allow users to precisely cut small and delicate herbs. The answer to this question, as you can imagine, depends on how often you find yourself chopping herbs.

Handle Size: It’s important to find kitchen shears that have comfortable handles. An ergonomic grip is key to kitchen safety and effective slicing and cutting. You should also consider your hand size as you peruse kitchen shears.In this article, we’ll outline what we believe to be the 3 best herb scissors and teach you how to find the right pair for your kitchen. What Are Herb Scissors? Bob Vila has been America’s Handyman since 1979. As the host of beloved and groundbreaking TV series including “This Old House” and “Bob Vila’s Home Again,” he popularized and became synonymous with “do-it-yourself” home improvement. Another design factor to consider is whether you want spring-loaded kitchen shears,” Glasier says. “Any time there will be a lot of repetitive cutting, the spring-assisted lift of the handle will make the prep faster and put less strain on your hand.”

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. The handle, for the most part, is nice too, comfortable and ergonomic enough. We aren't the biggest fans of a specific smell that follows it but it does go away after a wash or two, so we won't hold it against the scissors. How are you going to use your new set of scissors? If you're only going to use your scissors to open a pesky bag of pretzels now and again but not really for cooking, you can opt for a less heavy-duty pair—but it's well worth getting a hardier pair to use in a variety of ways in the kitchen. A strong pair of kitchen scissors can be used to snip herbs, break down poultry, chop up marinated meat or vegetables, and even slice up foods so they're a safer size for children. Some kitchen shears are designed specifically for those tasks, like poultry or herb shears, while others are made to be used as a daily driver in the kitchen.

The model comes equipped with heavy-duty steel rivet that securely holds the 5 sharp blades together for consistent performance.

On paper, there's nothing all that different about the blades. The high-quality steel construction should not disappoint in the long run. The 3-inch blades will be able to cut through anything with ease. With them, you'll be in complete control, serving up a small feast or making a nice little healthy meal for yourself.A quality pair of 5-blade scissors will have sharp blades that won’t dull or bend and a strong rivet that won’t allow those blades to shift position even with heavy use. A comfortable handle is also a must. Necessary Extras For large bones, you will likely need a meat cleaver or a butcher saw. When shopping for meat, you can always ask the butcher to remove or cut large bones. Take Our Word for It Handle Material: Boyd recommends shears with a non-slip handle, which he says “is important for comfort and performance during tasks.” Five-blade herb scissors are efficient and fast—they create five slices with each cut instead of just one. Their design also allows them to create uniform pieces. However, since there’s no way to adjust the distance between blades, the cuts will always be the same size. Their convenience is worthwhile for those who don’t need the flexibility to cut different-size pieces. Handle There are plenty of herb stripping tools on the market that are shaped like leaves, but this is one of the first we've seen that actually looks like one. This stainless steel Happyline herb stripper comes in a realistic-looking leaf shape with beautiful green coloring and simulated leaf "veins." It boasts a total of nine holes ranging from 2 to 15 millimeters, allowing you to de-stem herbs and greens of all sizes.
