Detachable Kitchen Scissors

All-steel kitchen scissors whose two blades come apart at the pivot. That is the feature to look for in kitchen shears: the hinge is where raw chicken and herb stalks collect, and it is the one place you can't clean on scissors that stay joined.

Scissors are quicker than a knife for more jobs than they get credit for. Snipping herbs straight into the pan, cutting bacon and spring onions, trimming fat, jointing a chicken, opening packaging — all without a board to wash afterwards.

Why you'll love it

• Blades separate — wash and dry the hinge properly.
• All stainless steel — handles included, nothing to crack.
• Sharp, sturdy blades — through poultry joints and herb stalks alike.
• No board needed — cut straight over the pan.

Details

Take the blades apart after cutting raw meat and dry both halves before putting them back together. Water left in a closed pivot is what rusts scissors.
