Okay, so I’ve been trying to get more into cooking lately, and fresh herbs are a game-changer. But chopping them up with a regular knife? Such a pain. That’s where these kitchen herb scissors come in. I saw them online and thought, “Why not give them a shot?”
First off, I ordered a pair from Jenaluca – seemed like a popular choice. When they arrived, I was pretty excited to test them out. They looked kinda weird, with all those multiple blades, but I figured that’s what makes them special. So, I grabbed some fresh parsley from my little herb garden and got to work.
- Getting Started: I held the scissors in one hand and the bunch of parsley in the other. The scissors felt a bit heavy, but not uncomfortable. I started snipping away, and wow, it was so much easier than using a knife!
- The Snip-Snip Action: Those multiple blades really do the trick. They cut through the parsley like butter, and I had a nice pile of chopped herbs in no time. Way faster than my usual knife-chopping method. And it is designed to help strip leaves from the stems, which is awesome.
- Cleaning Up: After I was done, I thought cleaning would be a hassle, with all those blades. But actually, it was pretty simple. I just rinsed them under the tap, and everything came right off.
- Using the Herbs: I used the freshly chopped parsley in a pasta dish, and it tasted amazing. The herbs were evenly cut, and they added such a nice flavor to the meal.
Now, these scissors aren’t perfect. It’s really just suitable for processing a small amount of food, right over the pot or dish. I realized they’re more for small jobs. If you’ve got a ton of herbs to chop, you might still want to use a knife or a food processor. But for quickly adding some fresh herbs to a dish? They’re fantastic. They do have other uses, these are kitchen shears after all. You can use them for opening packages or even cutting through bone! They are really multi-purpose, they even have a bottle opener!
Overall, I’m really happy with my herb scissors. They’ve made cooking with fresh herbs so much easier and more enjoyable. And kitchen scissors are a great addition to anyone’s kitchen arsenal. If you’re like me and love using fresh herbs but hate the chopping, you should definitely check these out.
A Little Extra
I also tried using them on other leafy greens, like spinach and kale. They worked pretty well for those too! It’s just so convenient to snip them right into the salad bowl. I’m all about making cooking simpler, and these scissors definitely help with that.
So, yeah, that’s my experience with kitchen herb scissors. I say they’re a win. They are sharp, so you do need to be careful, but once you get the hang of it, they are super efficient. And they make me feel like a pro chef, even though I’m just a regular person who likes to cook. If you try them out, let me know what you think!
