FAQs

Are these kitchen shears dishwasher safe?

Hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to maintain the sharpness and longevity of the stainless steel blades. Dishwasher detergents and the high heat can dull the blades and potentially damage the handles over time.

What type of stainless steel are the blades made from?

The blades are fabricated from high-quality stainless steel, chosen for its durability and ability to hold a sharp edge.

Can these shears be used for tasks other than poultry?

Yes, these shears are versatile and can be used for various kitchen tasks, including cutting herbs, trimming fat, opening packages, and cutting through tough food packaging.

How do I best maintain the sharpness of the blades?

Regular hand washing and thorough drying after each use will help maintain sharpness. Avoid cutting hard materials like bone or wire, and ensure they are stored properly.

Are the handles comfortable for extended use?

The shears feature non-slip handles designed for a comfortable and secure grip, aiding control during use.

What is the main advantage of these shears?

Their primary advantage is the ability to effortlessly cut through poultry joints with precision due to the durable stainless steel blades and design.

Troubleshooting

Shears feel stiff or difficult to open/close.

Ensure the pivot area is clean and free of debris. Apply a tiny drop of food-grade mineral oil to the pivot point if necessary, and work the shears back and forth.

Blades are not cutting cleanly through joints.

Verify the blades are properly aligned. Check for any food residue or buildup between the blades. Ensure you are cutting through the joint and not attempting to cut bone.

Rust spots appearing on blades.

This may occur if the shears are left wet or exposed to harsh conditions. Gently scrub the rust spots with a non-abrasive cleaner like baking soda paste and a soft cloth. Dry thoroughly immediately after and ensure proper storage.
