Greenery scissors: description and selection

The modern kitchen market offers housewives a lot of innovations to make their work easier. Such innovations include kitchen scissors. Why they have become a necessary household item, what assortment of this product is offered to the buyer, and how to decide on the right choice of this product - let's try to figure it out in this article.

Sometimes, when you are preparing lunch, breakfast, dinner, it is inconvenient to use a knife, it is much more effective to use kitchen scissors.

They have various shapes, special grooves, and teeth. Thanks to these properties, the range of applications for this accessory is wide. If you work with the described object, you do not need to use a cutting board, and the surface of the table will remain clean.

Kitchen scissors used in the following cases:

• when cutting small bones and cartilage of fish and poultry;
• when shredding greens;
• when cutting dried fruits;
• when cutting vegetable salad;
• when cutting dough or baking to shape the dish;
• when cutting pizza into portions;
• when opening commercial packages.

The most popular are herb scissors. They differ from other kitchen scissors in their special shape. One type has 3 sharp blades on one handle, the other type has 5 blades, but both types of tools speed up the process of cutting herbs.

Kitchen items are complemented by a special brush designed to clean the blades.

It is comfortable to chop parsley, celery, onions with cutting devices directly into a salad bowl or into a bowl of soup. And this procedure takes less time.

But you can take advantage of the described tool only if you purchase a quality product, therefore, before buying a product, you need to study its features, rules of use.

As mentioned above, special cutting tools with thin sharp blades are used to grind herbs.

First of all, when choosing products, you need to pay attention to the quality of steel., it must be stainless, hard, high carbon.

If the grade of steel is not indicated on the product, you need to visually assess the quality and hardness of the metal. You also need to pay attention to sharp and uniform sharpening along the entire cutting length. Micro-serrated blades are highly prized.

Modern scissors with plastic handles are resistant to detergents and hot water.

When choosing a product, pay attention to the mount. Screw fastening is more valuable than riveted fastening.

Like any product, the described tool has its positive and negative sides.... The pluses of scissors with several blades include the speed of cutting, the minuses are the complexity and inconvenience of operation., women do not have enough physical strength to cut a large bunch of herbal spices with one effort.

The negative point is the inability to sharpen the proposed object with five blades at home. And one more minus - you will have to add the cost of sharpening to the cost of the scissors.

If you purchase an item for cutting greens in small quantities, a specialized tool in this case is simply irreplaceable: you will quickly cut dill, green onions, and herbs to decorate the salad.

But if you plan to use scissors to process a large amount of products, you will not succeed: hands get tired, rub the calluses. The easiest way for you to do this is to use a food processor.

There is one more disadvantage: the complexity of washing.
