The Most Versatile Tool For Food Prep A good pair of kitchen shears should be used for any number of purposes (most of which they weren’t really designed for).Aside from the standard kitchen snips for cutting from veggies, meat,poultry,bone,plastic paper packaging,it also features a bottle opener,a center toothed grip for cracking bones and nuts, mini serrations on the edge of one blade for scraping fish scale and extra griping for slippery materials. Super handy in the kitchen !!
