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

Product Information

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. While you can use most kitchen shears with your right or left hand, left-handed people may find particular models more comfortable. There are also kitchen shears made specifically for left-handed people. Handle Material: Boyd recommends shears with a non-slip handle, which he says “is important for comfort and performance during tasks.”

In addition to the usual protective cover, the scissors come supplied with a leaf stripper that you can use to separate the leaves from the stems. Their openings make the instrument suitable for oregano, rosemary, thyme, tarragon, and other herbs. Single-use kitchen gadgets need to perform well to justify their spot in our kitchen drawers, so we only chose herb scissors that are worthy of the space. The highly rated herb scissors included in our list are all easy to use and reliably cut herbs. They won’t bend, bruise, or crush herbs in the cutting process. We trimmed chives and rosemary to see which scissors were able to chop finely, consistently and with control. The 5-blade herb scissors in this set are made with extra-sharp, stainless steel blades. The handles are more comfortable than other sets I’ve tried and include an extra-wide fingers hole. Like other 5-blade scissors recommended here, these stand up to repeated use better than many others out there. Some herb scissors also come with separate brushes instead of using the safety cover as a brush. A small handful of herb scissors also come with herb bags or pouches. These pouches can be helpful in storing your herbs to preserve their freshness and longevity. Cleaning ItHere’s everything you need to know about the features and options available with different herb scissors. Single-Blade Scissors 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. These Chuzy Chef multipurpose herb scissors have a lot going for them. First and foremost, the price isn't all that bad. They have a comfortable silicone handle that gives you an easy but firm grip and a lightweight design that doesn't put much of a strain on your wrist.

For our test of kitchen scissors, we didn't find that there were any particularly noticeable differences between the scissors when wearing these gloves. Shoppers looking for the best value will want to reach for the Vibirit herb scissors. These budget scissors come with a few accessories to handle other herb and vegetable-prepping jobs. This set includes a pair of five-blade herb scissors (with a cover and built-in cleaning comb, plus a separate cleaning brush), an herb stripper, and a vegetable peeler. Among other things, you can use these cutters to snip herbs directly onto salad leaves, casseroles, pizza, dip, basil fresh, soups, and other food. Furthermore, the model is just as suitable for cutting herbs as it is for arts and crafts or shredding paper. A good pair of kitchen shears can be just as useful for cutting herbs as dedicated herb scissors if you have a smaller or more precise job to do. If you prep a lot of herbs, having both options on hand can be nice. If that’s what you’re looking for, then I recommend the Goodful Herb Scissors set.These scissors have short and chunky stainless steel blades that are sturdy and precise. Their length is best suited for cutting small amounts of herbs rather than big bunches. For easy cleaning, these herb scissors are dishwasher-safe, plus they come with a sheath for safety.

Using scissors can be difficult for some, especially when cutting tougher herbs. These herb shears from Fiskars turn the kitchen shear design on its head—with a spring-action mechanism, users squeeze the scissors to cut. The scissors then automatically open again after each chop. This design makes them easier to use compared to regular scissors, especially for those with less hand dexterity or when chopping through tough herbs. The handle is comfortably curved and has a nonslip soft grip. 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.” Herb scissors can absolutely save prep time, especially if you grab a pair with five blades. These multiblade styles can make light work of cutting through a pile of herbs like a bunch of cilantro or chives. Each snip creates five cuts instead of one, so these scissors are bound to save some time! Why Trust Bob Vila When determining the best herb stripper for you, it’s important to know which herbs you use the most in your kitchen. Different herb strippers work better for woody stems than for soft-stemmed herbs. A quality herb stripper also needs to be sturdy enough not to bend when pulling tough stems through the holes.

When you’ve finished preparing your herbs, the integral ‘comb’ on the end of the protective sheath makes it easy and safe to clean and store the scissors. Simply run the comb through the blades to collect any loose bits of herbs, and wash them off with water. Pop your scissors into the sheath and they’re ready to go at the next meal time. X-Chef Multipurpose Herb Scissors is an overall solid product that doesn't necessarily stand out but the quality build and practical construction make it a solid contender for the top spot. 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

Just like a paring knife is used differently than a chef's knife, kitchen shears and scissors should be used for different tasks,” Glasier says. For example, he says he uses kitchen shears to cut rosemary stems and trim fish fins, while he uses a small pair of traditional scissors for “more precise work like cutting blossoms or other garnishes.” For that reason, we recommend having both kitchen shears and scissors while you cook. Can kitchen shears cut through bone? Herb scissors cut down on the time and effort required to prepare herbs. Being a specialty pair of kitchen scissors, they have especially sharp blades that are ideal for slicing through delicate herbs without crushing or bruising them—a job that some duller scissors and knives can’t accomplish.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 handle is also very important because you must feel comfortable cutting your herbs. Thankfully, most of these herb scissors offer comfortable, non-slip handles so that you can cut your herbs with peace of mind knowing that the accuracy of cutting them will be great. Handles can be made of different materials, and there is no standard material that is used. Many use a rubber-like plastic material but you should find one that suits your needs and feels comfortable in your hand. Extra Accessories
